When will Windows 8 Launch?

According to the Tami Reller's speaking at the 2011 Worldwide Partner Conference, Windows 8 has the same system requirements as Windows 7.

"In both of our Windows 8 previews, we talked about continuing with the important trend that we started with Windows 7, keeping system requirements either flat or reducing them over time. Windows 8 will be able to run on a wide range of machines because it will have the same requirements or lower."

As a reminder, here are the Windows 7 system requirements:

1GHz CPU
1GB RAM (32-bit) or 2GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

It is the good news for all PC owners. They do not re-buy new PC to run the Windows 8 System. For this reason, Windows 8 must be more popular than Windows 7. It will bring a new sales trend for Microsoft Company.

Windows 7 has been sold 400 Million. And Windows 7 includes Windows 7 Standard, Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 7 Home Premium. These three version meets people's requirement at the range from student to business man。 And who want to use it can pay less money for his fixed Windows 7 version.

Although the number shows the popularity of windows 7, windows 8 will be change this situation next year. Windows 8 will be sold more.
