In the line today I have discovered from Microsoft Volume Licensing Price list, that now it is accepting and processing orders of Windows 8 (replacing Windows 7 SKU) Windows 2012 and Visual Studio 2012 Here are some links to new features and compare version Windows 8 Experience Video : [windows.microsoft.com...] Explore windows 8 features : [technet.microsoft.com...] Windows 2012 Server Windows Server homepage : [microsoft.com...] Whats New in 2012 - [technet.microsoft.com...] Compare Editions - [microsoft.com...] Visual Studio 2012 Home page : [microsoft.com...] What's new : [microsoft.com...] Compare : [microsoft.com...] So for me, this seems a starting of long long line up of products to be released by Microsoft. I am anticipating New SharePoint, Office, Lync (some sort of Skype connection is also anticipated) and Exchange this November along with Surface and Windows 8 Mobile OS.

It seems evolutionary rather than revolutionary. However, I am looking forward to the Surface reference hardware.
