7
1) The next Windows Vista

2) Windows Phone 7 for computers.

3) Microsoft's next operating system that should run on desktops or tablets. It will have 2 different interfaces. Neither interface will run apps compatible with the other interface, and will ultimately lead into a huge failure.

4) 15+ gigabytes of code for what Linux could have done with 4-5 gigabytes.
p1: Hey, I love Windows 8. It looks just like windows should have been in 2007. And it will run on tablets.

p2: YEAH RIGHT. You know it's just a phone OS for desktop right?

p1: Really? But it will have a new interface and new apps store and everything.

p2: But the new interface won't run your old apps, and the app store will be more bolted down that Apple's app store.
Dumbass.

The only Windows operating system that is both less capable than Vista and Mac OS X. It "runs" better than many other versions of Windows, which was achieved by removing the capability of using applications.

After a fan threatened to say the name "Steve Jobs", Bill Gates released Windows 8.1, which restored the ability to download apps and the Desktop, although apps still did not actually do anything)

There is a legend that more information about this operating system may be located under Bill Gates' solid gold toilet in Redmond, but no one remembers any of this information.
Person 1: My Windows 2-in-1 runs Windows 8!
Person 2: What does it do?

A computer operating system by Microsoft to be released in October 2012. Its layout is similar to that of Windows Phone 7 for the reason that Windows 8 is expected to be used mostly on touch screens and tablets. And even if you don't have either of those, Windows 8 has a desktop mode which looks exactly like that of Windows 7 except there's no Start Button, much to the dismay of Windows fanatics. Windows 8 will be released alongside Windows Phone 8 and Microsoft Surface tablets.
Windows 8 is actually pretty awesome.
