Windows 8 Release Date: October 26th

Posted by Soulskill on from the just-in-time-for-halloween dept.

Several readers sent word that Microsoft has selected a release date for Windows 8: October 26th. Steven Sinofsky made the announcement today at the company's annual sales meeting. The new version of the operating system will be sent to manufacturers next month, giving them plenty of time to prepare for general availability.

    Win 7 is not "damn fine". It is the first actually acceptable (i.e. mediocre) Windows. Win 8 promises to be worse in a lot of regards, not only the completely borked UI. An what business has an OS anyways to tell the user what GUI to use????

    The thing MS is on to, is that they finally started with Win 7 to catch up to the other OSes. Still a decade or so behind, but it used to be worse.
