Calling all Windows 8 fans, thanks to a blog post from Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Windows Development, Chuck Chan. The Windows "Release Preview" version of Windows 8 is supposed to be available some time today, May 31.
Or at least it was... The entry was only up for about two minutes before it was pulled down from the new Windows 8 Hardware and Driver Developer Blog, which Microsoft will officially launch with the release preview. The blog is meant to provide the insights and best practices for developers looking to build hardware and drivers for Windows 8.
The post was in good time because an announcement Microsoft made last April, indicating that the Release Preview launch would take place in the "first week" of june.
This version of Windows will not be feature complete, but it will be the best indication so far of how Windows 8 will look and feel when it is finally released later this year. At the moment there is no current release date of Windows 8 or a pricing scheme. But we know that there will be four versions of the new Operating System, Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro (for hardware based on x86), Windows RT (for hardware based on ARM), and Windows 8 Enterprise.
