Why is the next Microsoft operating system expected to be called Windows 8?
Microsoft has changed its approach to naming operating systems (e.g XP, Vista) and is using an internal numbering system and the next Windows operating system, Windows 7, is the 7th release. Hence the replacement for Windows 7 is expected to be called Windows 8.

When will Windows 8 be released?
Microsoft normally release a new OS every 3 years, so Windows 8 should be launched in 20011/12, approximately 3 years after Windows 7.

 
Are there beta or release candidate versions of Windows 8 that can be downloaded for testing purposes?
Yes. I’m sure Windows 8 early builds will be spotted on torrents soon.
