Thats what a leak from a disgruntled ex-employee of Microsoft’s has posted. Basically, it is PDF of a Microsoft Project file with tentative schedules for the release of many new products for the next few years. Now, the leaker, aka Chris Green, has put a fairly large amount of disclaimers on this file so it is not sure how much of this is legitimate fact.
But looking past that, the PDF states that Windows 8 will be released to manufacturing (RTM) on July 1st, 2011. 2011… thats only giving Windows 7 two years in the spotlight. This fact leads me to believe that Windows 8 won’t be a jump like 7 or Vista but rather more of an upgrade.
Along with it are RTM dates for Windows Server 2012 and Office 2012. Both of which fall a year later at July 2nd, 2012. The PDF has many other dates for many other products as well. Things like Visual Studio 2010, Sharepoint 2013, SQL 2011, etc…
So whether these are fake or not, I’ll leave up to you to decide. Tell me your thoughts on this.
