Windows 8: The next Windows OS and the riskiest product bet of Microsoft

Screencap from YouTube

That's the face Steve (not the Apple CEO Jobs) Ballmer made when he answered the question, "Other than cloud computing, what's the riskiest product bet that you're [Microsoft] currently making?" at the Gartner Sympotium/ITxpo in Orlando, Florida. What did he answer? Windows. Which basically means that there will be an imminent release of Windows 7's successor, but what will be the next Windows' name? Windows 8.

So, how the hell did we know that Windows 8 will be the next Windows OS? Well, CNET have reported it and it's quite credible. Much like Google's Android 2.3 right? I did not know comments can give this much impact. Anyway, the said "Windows 8" is set to be released two years from now. The blogpost is on Microsoft's Netherlands site, although we would rather much believe what the people in Redmond, CA would say, this is quite credible, a slip up?
