The Verge: Two months after unleashing Windows 8 upon the world, Microsoft's back with the latest step toward the release of the company's next operating system: the Windows 8 Release Preview. The new version was supposed to be released the first week in June, but Microsoft is apparently ahead of its development schedule — though that hasn't stopped the leaks from coming fast and furious.
The cloud storage platform will drop support for older versions of Windows in early 2022.
Microsoft responded with Windows 8 and its Surface RT tablet.
In the earliest days of the Surface, it was hard to shake the notion that the line was something of a reference design for Windows 8.
they make windows 8 look cooler than it is. Great review. cant wait to put this on my side rig.
I cant wait to get this installed tonight. Im using the beta from early in the year and I really like the way MS are going with the new metro UI. Works amazing on my Windows Phone and on the 360 and now with the final touches being added to Windows 8 I think MS are on for a winner.
From the looks of it, it seems that it will be that metro UI focused and that pretty much sucks. I most likely will be sticking with windows 7.
I think I'll give Windows 8 a miss. I didn't like the last preview release, I think the metro UI is awful, it looks like a nursery school noticeboard. Microsoft seem to release one good OS and one bad, I'm going to guess this time its their bad turn, Win95 - Good, Win 98 - bad, Win 98 SE - good, Win ME - an abortion!!!!!!!, Win XP - good, Windows Vista - ARRRGGHHH!!!! Windows 7 - good, Windows 8 - ????
