Microsoft has developed Windows 8 two years ago

According to foreign media reports, recently, a reliable source said that Microsoft two years ago has already begun development work with Windows 8. In other words, Microsoft has already started development of Windows 8 long before Windows 7 went on the market.

Ren & eacute; eJ. James, general manager of the Intel Software and Services Group, said that Windows 8 will have a traditional version of the x86 CPUs and an ARM version, and Windows 8 will also have a built-in Windows 7 compatibility mode. .

However, shortly after James made the above remarks, Microsoft denied this, saying that James's remarks were inaccurate and misleading.

Here is what James said: For the past 20 years or so, we have been working with Microsoft on Windows, everyone is talking about and focusing on Windows. At present, we have been developing the Windows 8 platform for nearly two years, including very exciting new features. For the user, PC and tablet industries, everything in Windows 8 is very good.

It can be seen that Microsoft did start the planning and development of Windows 8 before the release of Windows 7.

Generally speaking, every Windows operating system goes through a planning phase. The author believes that the planning work for Windows 8 has been completed as early as 2009. The real code programming work was also started at the end of 2009, not the rumored 2010.
