Windows 8 on 26 October

Here's hoping it is not another Windows Vista ....
It is well know that the rush to get Windows 8 out is the fact that Microsoft is being left behind badly in the runaway success of tablets (iPads and Andoids). Microsoft must get an offering in this area (Microsoft Surface et al) if it is to survive outside the Corporate space. I only hope that Windows 8 is stable and not reminiscent of Vista!

Windows 8 officially available on 26 October: According to the Windows Blog, Windows 8 will be available from 26 October
