Microsoft Hints At 2012 Release Of Windows 8

Reports are indicating that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is hard at work to roll out what some say may be their Windows 8 edition in 2012, however, we emphasize that these are merely rumors at this point.

According to a post celebrating the one-year anniversary of Windows 7, the fastest selling OS in history, Microsoft's Dutch Website briefly mentioned the creation and release of its successor.

On the Dutch website, the company said, "Microsoft is on course for the next version of Windows. But it will take about two years before 'Windows 8' is on the market."

Reports from last year indicated the company was building a 128-bit version of its OS, which could very well be Windows 8.
