This has been rumored for a while, especially when Microsoft joined the scrap regarding Apple’s claim to the name “App Store”. Windows 8 is expected next year, probably in the fall. There is no confirmation as yet to the rumor that Microsoft employees working on the project all wear LeBron James Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys.
