While in Redmond have prolonged the festivities for the new mark of 150 million licenses sold for Windows 7, Internet demonstrated once again that it can be ruthless when dealing with leaked information. This time it deals with some forms considered ‘confidential’ by Microsoft, which also mentioned several details about what the future will be Windows 8.

And finally, we should mention something very striking: The “Computer Windows 8. It appears that this is a concept rejected during the development of Windows 7, but there is in these forms, indicating the possibility that Microsoft would develop its own computer with Windows as the operating system in August.
