I don’t know if this is the next ‘Big’ thing but it’s likely to start generating lots of news and interest over the upcoming months. I’m talking about Windows 8 here, the planned next release of the Windows family.
There are starting to be a few more articles out on the Interwebz, from different news sites and lots from bloggers too. Once the public beta is released (which I personally expect to be announced around the end of next month, February 2012) then the hype will surely start building to its typical stupid proportions.
Business should pay attention, if for no other reason than the fact that this will be the third operating system released since Windows XP, and the last one to be released while XP is still getting any sort of attention from Redmond. If you run a business using Windows XP then you owe it to yourself to start looking at upgrading to Win7, or pay close attention to Win8 and plan to upgrade to that. XP hotfixes will be around for a few more years yet, but not so long that you can rely on XP as aa long term option for your business
