Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 8 will officially launch on October 26, 2012. This is the next chapter following the successful Windows 7 OS. Initially thought to only be a tablet operating system, it is being pushed for both Desktop computers and tablets, have you seen the new operating system yet? Microsoft.com has Windows 8 release preview so you can test it out before it's released and see if it's worth you upgrading to.

Granted you do have to do a clean install and please keep in mind that this is a pre-release so all of the bugs have not been worked out and all hardware and software may not work yet, as drivers are being developed. Another neat fact, Microsoft is offering a $40 upgrade option to owners of licenesed copies of Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 through January 31, 2013. This offer is also extended to those who have installed the Windows 8 release preview.
