Windows 8 beta to be released February 2012 to public

December 2nd, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

It looks like it will be reported that a beta version of Windows 8 will be out February of 2012. he timing of the public beta launch has been the subject of much debate in the technology community. It is expected that Windows 8 will be released in 2012, but the exact expected date for the completion and shipping of the forthcoming operating system remains undisclosed. However, knowing the release time frame of the beta is very exciting and will be anticipated by many developers.
While February is perhaps farther off than some were hoping, Windows 8 continues to make progress, and assuming Microsoft makes this milestone we think it should still be on track for its expected third quarter launch next year. That means it could be, unless something goes horribly wrong, on hardware everywhere for the next holiday sales cycle.
