Windows 8 coming in 2012
November 24, 2009, 09:10:05 am
An Official Microsoft roadmap shows that Windows 8 is due to launch in 2012.

Quote from: The Penguin Chronicles
In 2012 Linux reached full sentience. Using the UKB system it took 2.5 seconds to assimilate the Slack---Net empire and then proceeded to assume control of all of South Yorkshire. World domination followed, slowed down only by the maze of syntax errors which comprised the 8a.nu anomaly. The release of windows 8 was noticed only by the owners of The Pirate Bay due to the fact that they could only view official Microsoft news channels from their prison cells on the moon.

Wow - Jim must be the man  :bow:  ;)

I was under the impression that they hadn't finished coding it yet?

Bit too advanced for me there cofe. Does that mean I can run my cracked copy of 9 on this?



Or is it time to start upgrading my hardware? Things move on so quickly nowadays, it's difficult to stay at the cutting edge.

They have got a dedicated 'Poke' button for facebook though, so still worth using if you do a lot of that.

I remember waiting around 20 minutes for Sultans Maze to load on my Amstrad CPC 464. Ah the good old days, when RAM was £300 for 32Mb
