Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, for the first time calling the next version of Windows with Windows 8 and the next generation of the Windows system that will come out next year.
However, apparently what was said by Ballmer in fact contrary to a statement from a Microsoft spokesperson said, "It appears there was a misstatement" on ZDNet. "We are eagerly waiting the next generation of Windows 7 That will from some of the hardware available in the coming fiscal year. To date, we have yet to formally announce any timing or naming for the next version of Windows."
In other words, Microsoft is not ready to announce the name of the successor to Windows 7. Very likely what did Ballmer say was right and to prove it we have to wait a little while.

Microsoft announced earlier this year that Intel, AMD and ARM would support Windows 8
