Microsoft begins hiring for Windows 8 development - eyeing 2011 release
Posted by Lawrence Bonk as News
There was once a time when Microsoft waited a long time between operating systems, too long to most. However, that time has come and gone. On the eve of the release of Windows 7 comes word that that company is already developing windows 8, with an eye for a 2011 release. This news comes to us via several job postings the company has recently listed in various areas, including Ars Technica. The text of one job posting reads:
“Do you want to help ready the entire partner ecosystem on all the new Microsoft products and solutions? The Partner Skills Development Team is looking for a senior thought leader and skilled project/product manager to ensure the health of the partner ecosystem through the strategic evolution skills development framework (and its execution) for upcoming Microsoft product launches. For example, in Fy10, the focus will be on Windows Server R2, SQL Server R2, and Wave 14 (Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, and Exchange 2010) and, as we head into Fy11, the focus will quickly switch to Windows 8. In this role you will lead the execution of partner skills development BOMs - by partner type for the entire partner ecosystem - on a WW basis. This role with interact with and influence individuals from across Microsoft, including individuals within the Worldwide Partner Group, Microsoft Learning, SMSGR, the product groups (BGs), Operations, and partner segment teams with SMSG.”
