Job offers on the Microsoft site show that the firm plans to focus on Windows 8 during the summer.

Scheduled for 2012, we know that Redmond is already working on the successor to Windows 7, but gives for the first time, an initial timetable. Microsoft seeks, in effect, an official to oversee the transition of resources and teams to the new system. The company has decided it will focus on Windows 8 from its year 2011 budget that starts in July 2010. Microsoft seems determined to keep its promise that the publisher wanted to ensure a new OS every three years.
