There has been a lot of speculation about release date of the Windows 8 Beta. Well, it would be good to say that perhaps only the developers of the Windows 8 Beta project know the exact date so far. Experts fear that even internal people of Microsoft are not sure about it.
However, it was reported that Dan’l Lewin, the Corporate Vice President for Strategic and Emerging Business Development of the company, hinted that Windows 8 could be released in autumn, 2012. He announced this during event launch of the Microsoft Silicon Valley Campus. Microsoft’s President Steven Sinofsky in his blog also shared information about Windows 8 Beta’s release.
Microsoft traditionally launched something new for Windows within a span of 3 to 4 years. It can be assumed that Microsoft might want to launch Windows 8 Beta as a follow up version of Linux that has already gained a huge popularity.
One thing is clear that the release team of Microsoft will not announce any definite date for release unless its developers working on the project give green signal to them. Before announcing the date there will be several meetings between development unit, marketing team and all other units of the company.
The whole market and users are eagerly waiting for its release to see how far it has changed from its renowned predecessors. To be very honest, earlier versions of Beta are really problematic but it fulfilled peoples’ expectations to a great extent. In fact, it’s better to say that no one should expect more from a beta version OS than that.
Getting back to release date of Windows 8 Beta, all must realize that the official announcement will be made only when Microsoft will feel satisfied with the whole development work. However, marketers expect that the official announcement might come somewhere around mid or last half of 2011.
Different people are speculating different dates for its launch. Some websites event mentioned a few specific dates for release as well but market insiders have refuted all these as rumors. Remember, it’s not good to speculate too much and make wild guessing all the time. Actually, people have lost patience waiting all this while for Windows 8 Beta.
