We
knew good and well that Microsoft was aiming for a 2012 launch of its latest and greatest operating system, and if sources reporting to
Bloomberg are accurate, it looks like we'll have a date with Mrs. October. Purportedly, work will wrap on Win8 this summer, with PCs and tablets (!) to ship in October carrying the
newfangled OS. We're told that the initial rollout will include devices running Intel
and ARM processors, and not surprisingly, this positions Microsoft to make a serious play for holiday dollars. Still wondering if it's for you? Give the
Consumer Preview a run, won'tcha?
