There have some miscellaneous glimpses at the next version of Windows, so far dubbed Windows 8. It is currently in Developer Preview, and can be downloaded, although this is not for the faint as it will not be stable at this point.
There are several new features to it, but overall it looks to me like it was designed from the groundup for tablet computing. It nicely integrates into the cloud as well.They have also relegated a more traditional style of the Windows Desktop to just another app.
I have to wonder if there will be much point to upgrading a Win 7 desktop to 8, as most of this depends on a touchscreen interface. There is also no official release date so no rush either.
