Windows 8 RTM Available April 2012?
Microsoft has plans to push out Windows 8, the next gen Windows OS sometime next year in Fall or maybe the holiday season. According to a source close to Microsoft, the RTM build of Windows 8 might come out sooner than we think.
The news was originally broken by ZDNet, and they say that their source claim that Windows 8 will finally RTM in April 2012. This time Microsoft might be following things as bit differently, as noted below:
“I’ve also heard from my contact that Microsoft’s game plan is to deliver a beta build– not a pre-beta or preview,” says Foley. The suggestion of a Windows 8 RTM date in April is a strong possibility as the software giant is striving hard to get its Windows 8 tablet offering to market.
At this point even we are convinced that Microsoft would do whatever they can in their power to push out Windows 8 out into the market as soon as possible. The reason being: the market is already taking a huge hit from all the iPads and Androids lurking on shelves, and thanks to the announcement of OS X Lion, we somewhat believe that the PC share might start to fall.
Windows 8 is the future of Windows, and is very much inspired by Windows Phone 7 in terms of look and feel. Windows 8 will incorporate Microsoft’s famous Metro UI inside out, bridging the gap between Windows and Windows Phone in terms of design. Windows 8 will also bring a lot of new features which we haven’t previously seen before in any version of Windows, such as deep Windows Live integration, Xbox LIVE integration, a UI which is optimized for touchscreen devices and more.
In our honest opinion, Microsoft really needs to jump on to the touchscreen tablet bandwagon, they have somewhat ignored it for far too long and the damage they are taking from Apple and Google is quite significant. Windows 8 might just be the answer to our ridiculous question: Is Windows doomed? [via Winrumors]
