我们都知道Windows 8将会在2012年上市,但具体日期尚不明朗,日前,微软副总裁Lewin的一段话暗示了Windows 8的发售日期将会是2012年的秋天,Lewin的原话为:
We will be in market – if you look at the crystal ball and just say what happened in the past is a reasonable indicator of what our forward looking timelines will be and just speculate – we’ve made the point about having a developer conference later this year, and then typically we enter a beta phase, and then in 12 months we’re in the market, so let’s make that assumption.
大意就是在今晚晚些时候的开发者大会上会发布Windows 8测试版,然后在一年内推向市场。今年的微软开发者大会将会在9月举行,也就是三个月后会发布Windows 8测试版,明年的9月之前会推向市场。当然这都是美好的计划,以微软的效率,恐怕很难按时完成。
