Oh neid ajakirjanikke küll , oktoobris jõuab müüki Windows 8, kas siis installituna valmisarvutile või siis "install-tootena" neile, kellel juba varasemast arvuti olemas on.

"These dates are not particularly surprising, since the Redmond software giant typically delivers operating system updates in October. Still, there was always the worry, especially among Microsoft partners that are anxious to bundle the latest OS in their new computers and tablets, that the Metro-design-sporting update could ship too late for inclusion in holiday-buying-season systems. Microsoft revealed its schedule during its annual Windows Partner conference in Toronto, Canada.

Not only will Windows 8 ship on partner devices in late October, but the company revealed that Windows 8 will, at the same time, ship in 109 countries and 231 languages.

With almost four months between now and the Windows 8 ship date, though, Microsoft is trying to ensure that people don’t stop buying Windows PCs and announced that any Windows 7 PC purchased between now and October is eligible for a $14.99 upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. This is the second upgrade deal Microsoft has announced in recent weeks. Earlier this month, Microsoft introduced a $39.99 upgrade program for Windows versions going back to Windows XP."

Marie: Tundub, et Lp. autor peab silmas üleminekuajastut Windows 3.1 to Windows 95. Sel ajal valitses küll suurem ootusärevus, et mis nüüd siis tuleb ja palju selleks tuleb ümber õppida.

Paistab, et Windows 7 oli rohkem oodatud kui Windows 8.
