We have some important news to bring you now, as it has been reported that Microsoft has let slip that their next generation Windows OS will be available for release in around two years time.

As reported from Mashable, Microsoft posted a message on their Dutch blog website about Windows 8, confirming that it is already in development, but won’t be out until sometime in 2012.

Interestingly, one of the features already touted in Windows 8 is the inclusion of a Windows App store, similar to the one for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion which Apple announced at their Back to the Mac event last week.

At the moment though, it is early days of course as we’re sure Microsoft are working hard to ensure that Windows Phone 7 as well as their Kinect motion system for the Xbox 360 are successful on the market.

Let us know your thoughts on this. Are you waiting for Windows 8?
