Windows 8 Coming 2012?

Even Windows 7 isn’t out the market yet, but Microsoft seem to be making good progress with Windows 8,their next Operating System. A roadmap slide from Microsoft’s Italian subsidiary has Windows 8 penciled in for a 2012 release:

Windows 8	Windows 7	Windows XP
2012	2009	2001
1 `23 5 5 54 6

Note though that Windows 8 is down as approximately 2012. Even still, it looks like Microsoft are sticking to their 2.5-3 year release cycle, with Windows Vista launching Jan 2007 (it was late), Windows 7 in October 2009 and Windows 8 in 2012.
Windows 8 is also denoted as ‘codemane Windows 8′ – does this mean than Windows 8 will not be called Windows 8?
We all are expecting big things from Windows 8. Although Windows 7 is a great release and adds several much needed improvements to Windows Vista, it’s still too familiar for us and doesn’t feel ‘new’ enough and we are looking forward to getting a new OS with new views.
