ExtremeTech - Late yesterday, Microsoft released the Windows 8 Release Preview, the new Release Candidate. Its headline features are improved multi-monitor support, IE10 with built-in Flash (even in Metro), and a handful of new stock Metro apps (Travel, Sport, News).
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.
