Last we heard, Microsoft was looking to an October launch time-frame for Windows 8. Microsoft was said to “final product” Windows 8 by this summer, followed by an October retail date.
Now we’re hearing rumors that the Release Candidate (RC) — a time-limited version of an operating system that’s all but ready to go and occasionally shared with the public as a final test — could hit as early as “the end of May.”
According to Windows blog WinUnleaked.tk: “We know the Release Candidate of Windows 8 will be shared with the public between the end of May to the beginning of June”.
