Microsoft announces Windows 8 has reached it’s first milestone, and is ready to start  the Beta phase hopefully by 2011.

“Windows 8 is reportedly planned for release by mid-2012, some two years away. Mary-Jo Foley reveals that the planning stage for the platform has been already finalized, and that Microsoft already wrapped up the first Milestone for Windows 8.”

“The company is bound to produce a few Milestone releases of Windows 8, before actually taking it to the next level, and producing the first Beta build. If Windows 7’s development process offers any clues, Windows 8 could hit Beta as early as mid-2011, a year from now.”

I  just hope Windows 8 will be the awaited Longhorn project, but we’ll have to wait and see.
