Microsoft Backtracks From Ballmer's Windows 8 Comments

[News]

The next version of Windows will be called Windows 8 and it's coming in 2012, or is it? Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer called the new OS Windows 8 on Monday and said it would be coming out next year during a speech at a developer conference in Tokyo, according to a transcript on Microsoft's site. Previously, Microsoft had been careful to refer to Windows 8 only as "the next version of Windows."
