Ah, speculations. Where would we be without them? Now that the iPad is out, we can finally start speculating on other things. One of these is Windows 8. I'm actually not convinced it's all that fascinating -- the paint is barely dry on Windows 7! SP1 isn't even out yet, which makes it practically still wet behind the ears if we judge by XP's lifespan (Vista, nobody's looking at you).
However, it would appear that Microsoft may be speeding up its product development cycle. After doing so well with 7, and not too badly with Office 2010 (I have to say, I'm a huge fan -- Office 2010 rocks, pretty ribbon and all), it seems as though the folks at Redmond are not letting up. There's a PDF that purports to be a leaked roadmap from an ex-Microsoft employee, and shows Windows 8 going RTM (released to manufacturing) on July 1, 2011.
Ex-Microsoft employee -- that has a bit of a shady ring to it, I think. Hey, this roadmap here fell off the back of a truck ... Says Windows 8 is coming real soon now.
