There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.

Now although information about Windows 8 will eventually become available, rather than the lack of information to this day about WMDs, Windows 8 details still remain sketchy.  Here are Windows 8′s Known Knowns:

1. It will be called Windows 8 and there’s even a Windows 9 in the pipeline
2. It will be released no earlier than 2012 – it is unlikely it will be released in 2011
3. It will have new networking features
4. It will include 128 bit support and will see the end of 32 bit Operating Systems
5. It won’t be Microsoft’s last client based OS - Steve Ballmer says that won’t happen for 10-20 years.

Hopefully soon we will unravel Windows 8′s known unknowns and unknown unknowns!
