Windows 8

Windows 8 6.2.7867

Windows 8 is the upcoming successor of Windows 7. Some builds after the Windows 7 "7600" have been leaked (pictures) and have been thought to be a Windows 8 Alpha, but right now, that is not yet known, but is said by others to be quite possible. It has secretly been said in a blog of as Microsoft Employee (that was cached by Google because it was deleted) that it will not be included as a 32-bit OS, but as a 64-bit OS, and possibly a 128-bit OS. The NT version would be 7.0, even though its "8", Windows 7's was 6.1.

As stated by a Microsoft employee, Windows 8 will be "totally different" when it is expected to be released, sometime around 2011 or 2012.

Some reports say that Windows 8's internal codename may also be Windows.Next.

Steve Balmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7

It was announced that Windows 8 would support ARM processors at the CES 2011 in January 2011. A computer with an ARM processor was pictured running a Windows 8 build labeled 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatability with other programs. It seemed to be an M1 build, when Microsoft is currently on M2.
