"If the feedback and telemetry on Windows 8 and Windows RT (the tablet-compatible version) match our expectations, then we will enter the final phases of the RTM process in about two months. If we are successful in that, then we are tracking to our shared goal of having PCs with Windows 8 and Windows RT available for the holidays."

微软似乎会在美国假期购物季发布Windows 8操作系统。微软周四发布了Windows 8的预览版。Windows 8是微软视窗产品的最新版本,视窗产品几乎占微软全部利润的一半。这也是首款可以同时在平板电脑和个人电脑(PC)上运行的视窗系统版本,首次向苹果iPad发出了真正的挑战。
根据三年前Windows 7的发布历程,微软或在10月或11月前正式发售Windows 8系统。微软从未公布Windows 8确切的上市日期,但表示公司希望每三年能发布一个新系统。Windows 7在2009年10月正式上市。
