While Windows 7 is still in the Release Candidate stage, Microsoft has started developing the next version to come out in the next 3 years.

Those familiar with Windows Server 2008 may see this as the better alternative (and successor) to Windows XP. While the base code is still partly Vista, improvements on the allocation of resources and interface were prominent. Windows 8, on the other hand, looks like a totally different animal.

Below is the reported user concept of Windows 8:

The new interface looks to be more intuitive, but the seemingly required additional learning curve may be a drawback to some. I have no problem with the existing usability issues of Windows XP, only the stability of the platform and it’s vurnerability to attacks. Personally, I’d rather they keep the existing flow and improve on the other aspects of the OS that would make our computing lives easier.

I’ve been doing tech posts at Techrepublic for a while. Before that, I’ve been a regular at experts-exchange. Nothing mattered more then than tech points and bragging rights.

For some reason, Techrepublic took out the Tech Q&A portion of the site. Sure, the questions are still there, intermingled with the forum discussions, but the Techpoints system are gone.

I went next to MSN spaces for my tech solace. The site’s cms was simple and effective, yet it underwent more changes than I am comfortable with. Plus, blogging about open source on a MS blogspace felt kind of weird.

I’ve been blogging here and there, but mostly personal. Recent developments in the blogosphere, and the resurgence of interesting technologies makes me want to go back to writing.

It’s like what they say: If at first you don’t succeed; call it version 1.0
