From what we know, we reckon that Microsoft will give us a better look at Windows 8 at its BUILD conference in September and some reckon that Microsoft will release their latest OS in April 2012. However for the moment these are only hints and rumors that we’re going on. But there’s more evidence to support that Microsoft are getting ready to gear up for the launch of Windows 8.
Withing the past week, two job listings have appeared up on the Microsoft Careers site which refer to Windows 8. The first job is for Belgium as “Retail Windows & Office Category Marketing Manager” while the second claims to be non-location specific and is for “ Retail Windows and SDA Category Marketing Manager”
There is a whole bunch of details and requirements to go along with the jobs which can be found at the links above, but I’ve just taken out a section from them that refers to Windows 8
Key Measures of Success
Key measures of success are tired directly to the Windows and SDA scorecard.
• Windows FPP/WAU revenue and unit performance
• Windows @ Retail scorecard metrics
• Strength of relationship across Windows @ retail internal and external ecosystem including OEM, BG, CCG
• Landing of Windows 8 launch in the channel including retail offers
• Successful design and implementation of Category Programs in the region
• Proactive communication on issues and opportunities to the Windows and SDA leadership in region and HQ
• Consumer retail experience
• Successful implementation of marketing assets in the region
• Business analysis and insight and reporting through ROB
Maybe some of our readers reckon that they’re suitable for the job? Unfortunately I don’t have the experienced or qualifications required at the moment so I won’t be submitting my application that’s for sure!
Anyway, this is yet another clear sign that Microsoft is gearing up to launch Windows 8 soon enough, more than likely within the next 12 month.
