The countdown begins… Microsoft announced this week that Windows 8 will finally be available on October 26, 2012 – if you want to put a note in your calendar, that's a Friday. The announcement was made by Steven Sinofsky at the company's annual sales conference, and he also posted the news on the Windows blog. The Windows 8 rollout will apply to new PC installations and upgrades too. We already knew Microsoft was planning the October launch, we just didn't know the exact day, but now we do!

I hope you found this site useful. Before you move on, I'd like to ask if you would like to support my work. As an independent site, creating content takes a lot of work and dedication, and due to the use of adblockers and AI, ad revenue is rapidly declining. Unlike many other sites, there is no paywall blocking readers here, so you can see why your help is needed. Your support allows me to continue the work I love to do. Thank you.
