February Release For Windows 8 Beta For Public

Back in September 2011 the developer preview of Windows 8 was released by Microsoft at the BUILD developer conference but then, there was no word when the Windows 8 Beta for public will be released. But now sources close to Microsoft confirms that we may see the launch of Windows 8 in 2012 beginning with the Beta release for public in February 2012. But still now the exact date for the release of the next Windows iteration remains unconfirmed.

We already have some reports that at CES 2012 in January Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will have a lot to talk about their next release in his keynote. So we expect the beta to be available shortly after the event. While it is still not confirmed what will be included in this release of Beta for public as it is not yet charted out and it is up to the developers working on the project to decide which components to include as when ready for release. There is also no confirmation about the email feature which is currently not available in the developer preview version of Windows 8.

Recently we had sources reporting Microsoft streamlining the installation process of Windows 8 with users being able to install the OS in as few as 11 clicks given certain issues to be sorted out before the PC is ready for installation. There has been constant progress and updates about the various features in the upcoming OS in their official blog posts and other sources and if Microsoft stays on track then we might have the complete version by the third quarter of 2012, given nothing goes wrong at any level of the progress.
