Windows 8 coming at the end of October

[Larry-G]

It's official, Windows 8 is coming at the end of October.
According to Microsoft's Tami Reller, the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) will be available the first week of August, with a retail date at the very end of October.

The company is supposedly "on track" to finishing up the final copy of the new operating system by its internal roadmap, in early August.

In May, the company said it expected the RTM by the end of July, so there appears to be a slight delay but nothing too major.

One of the major revisions from the Consumer Preview will be the removal of Aero Glass from the desktop UI.
