Windows 8 is a future version of Microsoft Windows, expected for release in 2012 or later. It will succeed Windows 7. It will be built on the same kernel MinWin in which the Windows 7 is being developed.
In Windows 8, there is going to be a complete overhaul of the user interface. A new user experience is being developed for Windows 8. According to some sources, Windows 8 will not include Windows Explorer.
Windows 8 is planned to bring a revamp of Windows Test Technologies (WTT), the technologies used to test Windows. The WTT team wants to address all the major testing problems by developing a "truly scalable and reliable testing infrastructure.”
