Everyone seems to waiting for Microsoft another OS Windows 8 after the success of Windows 7, which should arrive in early-2012, has yet to receive much media attention. That�s probably because the most exciting thing we�ve heard about it so far is that it �might� have an �app store�, and other leaks have all been centered around performance improvements (which are a given).
Microsoft has a lot riding on Windows 8. Windows Vista hurt Microsoft�s reputation (rightly or wrongly), and Windows 7 was its savior. Windows 8 needs to be better than Windows 7 in ways that consumers can see, understand, and experience, and it needs to give consumers a reason to upgrade (or cross-grade) for it to equal or surpass Windows 7. The software giant�s latest release of Windows has �skyrocketed� PC sales, and scores a rating of�94 percent customer satisfaction�, according to CEO Steve Ballmer.
In the last few years, Microsoft has seen a lot of change � with the departure of Gates, and then Bach and Allard in recent months, and with constant management shuffling, it will be interesting to see how Microsoft pulls it�s resources together to make Windows 8 the success that many are expecting it to be.
