Microsoft seeks help for new OS: Windows 8

Surprised...?
Yes. It's true. It's next version of Windows 7.
MS looking to fill jobs associated with Windows 8, its next OS next to the current Windows 7 beta.
Two jobs postings have been spotted, published by CodeNameWindows blog last week and by others on web.
"For the upcoming Version of Windows, new critical features are being wored on including cluster support for one way replication" the job post reads.

The core engine is also being reworked to provide dramatic performance improvements.

The reference to "file access in branch offices" sounds a lot like Microsoft's upcoming BranchCache technology.

Windows 7 Enterprise edition and Windows Server 2008 R2 both will contain BranchCache, which is designed to improve application responsiveness across organization's branch offices via a wide area network connection.

Job responsibility of Windows 8 job posting defines, i. Put on customer/design critique hat as we plan our next version file server mgmt experience., ii. participatin in architectural design and development, testing for managing the Next Gen file server.

MS may start releasing Windows 7 RC in may of this year.
