Microsoft Windows 8 Pre-beta to Be Revealed Next Week?

Wednesday, July 13, 2011

Sources say that Window 8 pre-beta can be showed off by Microsoft on its Worldwide Partner Conference next week. With WPC 2011 officially kicking off July 11, WinRumors cited a tweet on Tuesday from an account called @MSFTtm, which said that "Microsoft will release a CTP [Community Technology Preview] build of Windows 8" at the conference. Though a single tweet from an unverified source hardly makes it a done deal, WinRumors says this particular tweeter has been accurate in the past with news about Windows 8 builds.

These recent rumors, if true point towards an aggressive timetable for Windows 8 ahead.
