Windows 8: Death by Road Map!
Another day, ano……. oh, wait. I keep saying that every time I find one of these things. lol. Basically, I’ve run across YET ANOTHER road map (the second one in Korean) that further solidifies the ~2012 release of Windows 8 Server. Let me clarify, all of these road maps I’ve found – ALL of them – resided in Windows Server 2008 R2 slide decks. None of these are in relation to client, but since Microsoft has made the decision to align Server and Client release dates, it may be fairly safe to assume that these cadences apply to Windows 8 client as well. Either way, here’s the latest of the onslaught:
Since I’ve found so many of these things now, I’m going to go ahead and recap the others below. Click each of the following road maps to be taken to their respective posts, if you’re interested:
And that’s it! Stay tuned for more road maps. Even though it’s pretty damn obvious that Microsoft is shooting for a 2012 release date, I’m going to post every single one of these I find. =)

If windows 8 is gonna hit stores in 2012, we might be able to get the beta atleast around 2011 PDC!!! but MS said win7 will hit early 2010, but was out way before. so win8 beta might be out by 2010 PDC… what do you guys think???
Nilantha: Wishful thinking, but you never know. =) I doubt we’ll see the beta until early/mid 2011, to be honest. From everything I’ve seen about Windows 8 so far, it appears to be a fairly large undertaking. I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you, but you never know what can happen! Either way, I’m sure the leaks will come long before the beta.
