Microsoft Employee Beating Drums About "Windows.Next"

Call it a conspiracy if you may...

Recently a Microsoft employee blogged up on MSDN some scattered thoughts on what he's informally calling Windows. Next ( as opposed to the Windows 8 ). He called the new version "completely [sic] different from what folks usually expect of Windows,” and that it draws on user feedback to create something that will 'change the way people think about PCs and the way they use them.'

In interesting contrast to recent words by Dick Brass, the anonymous blogger seems particularly stoked about Steven Sinofsky, the president of the Windows and Windows Live division’s, and his ability to 'actually bring together dozens and dozens of teams across Microsoft to come up with a vision for Windows. Next.'

Meanwhile, John Mangelaars, a regional VP at the company, went on record saying "Windows 8 will be mind-blowing." But while John's comment will live on in public record, the MSDN blogger's post is gone without a trace from Microsoft's site. Of course, it's lived on in Google cache for the rest of the internet to enjoy.
