Microsoft has made it official that the next Windows, The Windows 8 will be released to the masses on October 26, 2012. Microsoft is betting big on the next version of Windows and has made significant changes to almost everything - right from the branding (new simpler logo) to removing the start button and bringing in the METRO UI. The new UI aims to bring a uniform browsing experience all over tablets and the desktop machines.

Microsoft's also announced #-Link-Snipped-# - the tablet that is all set to rival the Apple's iPad. Microsoft has a lot in its bag this time 😀

    Still they are on a loss.... :'(

    May be office and windows 8 combo can save them. I do not have much expectation from Surface
    Beating Apple in their own territory is almost impossible.

    Yeah, because the Windows 7 sales will drop. I haven't checked the details, but is there any one single Microsoft's business that's caused the loss?
