Windows 8 is coming on October 26.

Just in case your're wondering, that's October 26 2012. So mark your calendar. Steven Sinofsky announced during Microsoft annual sales meeting that Windows 8 will be released on that date in the form of upgrade and full version on a new PC starting October 26.


If you've been living on Mars or deep into the Amazonian virgin forest and been out of touch with what's going on, Windows 8 is Microsoft new flagship OS being released 3 years after Windows 7. The new OS will run on PCs, tablets and, kind of, on Windows Phones.
