Starting Windows 8


Recommended Posts

three years is too little to rewrite an OS as big as windows with millions of lines of code....

as about vista , they rewrite a good chunk of graphic , audio ,and networking stacks

that is why most drivers broke

it is rumored that Windows 8 would be NT6.2

give idea that it would be little application breakage

Windows 8 won't be 6.2 as it supposed to be a major os so it would be 7.0

that what i heard.

windows 7 was a major one too (actually 7.0), they named it 6.1 for compat. they'll probably continue the trend and name windows 8 6.2 for the same reason.

yes, why risk breaking thousands of software for internal version name , when most of these would work perfectly with out incrementing major version

i get the feeling we won't get anything revolutionary for quite a while
