End of this year likely, because that's on par with how often OS' are released. I've not read of any new news regarding Windows 8 for tablets, which I think Microsoft will shoot themselves in the foot with later - it's the only usable platform for it and it seems to be the least talked about.

18 months and 240 bugfixes before it's ready, if they keep with their previous history.

What are peoples thoughts on the BETA?

I know it can be turned off but I'm not liking the new interface at all.

Windows 8 is good for Touch screen Devices.

I use Windows 8 OS on Virtual server.

so far I know Win8 will be released on October of this year.

btw, anyone who's eager to that can experience all the advantages of Win8 at the official website.

I used it, but that's a stupid mix of tablet and desktop system...

I been using it with my bootcamp. Good OS between.

I don't like it, it's too tablet like. I will stick around with Windows 7.

Wait, it might turn out to be Windows Vista

Businesses avoided it, stayed at Windows XP until Windows 7 came to the rescue.
