    According to a job posting on Microsoft's career site, Windows 8 planning and preparation is currently taking place.

    The job posting, spotted by enthusiast site CodenameWindows, hints at third-party application updating, updating virtual machines while they're turned off and delivering full applications, among others.

The job is for a role on the Windows Update Client team, responsible for delivering software updates to over 600 million machines.

    Can't they just hold off? I don't want my new OS to be outdated so quickly!

    I wonder what it would be like, if they were to release the official version of an OS, then simultaneously release the Alpha for the next generation, and keep that in open development for three years till it's ready to go?
