Before long waiting for windows 8 a bit more polished than the Windows 7
Consumer Preview before taking the new OS for a test drive? You don’t have much
longer to wait. According to Microsoft, you’ll be able to download the Windows
8 Release Preview by the first week of June.
That’s slightly behind schedule if you go by the Windows 7 timeline — its
Release Candidate arrived in May ahead of the RTM in July and retail
availability in October. Windows 8 is set to hit store shelves in October, too,
so it’ll be interesting to see if Microsoft can smooth out all the rough edges
despite the shorter gap between releases.
The news was revealed by Microsoft’s Windows honcho Steven Sinofsky at
Windows 8 Dev Days in Japan. Curiously, the company opted to use the old
Windows logo in their slideshow instead of the newer, more Metro version.
According to the official Building Windows 8 Twitter account, it’s just an
oversight there’s no going back now.
