      I think that the April date might be a little soon, but I think it could be coming in 2015 at some point.

        2015 doesn't surprise me. The faster they ship the more money to be made.

          It wouldnt surprise me, if they released on tablets and other mobile devices first. Its nice to have the apple hardware/software advantage when demonstrating a new OS.

            Doesn't matter much without ARM hardware.

              They've been talking up a faster release schedule for a while now. Expect a new OS to roll out every 2-3 years now if not sooner. I'm just hoping that 2012 R2 isn't too old by the time I get certified.

                That's one reason I don't like some of the MS certs, although they aren't as expensive as alot of other certs.

                  Well, in order for most businesses to upgrade on a cycle like that, MS is counting on the economy getting way better. Investing thousands (even more than that for most SMB's and up) upgrading OS'es every 2 years isn't something that's going to go over very well. Which ironically, plays into their selling of cloud services with Office 365, Azure, etc.
