The software giant happily announced the completion of the development of Microsoft's next OS in the Windows family, the Windows 8 a few days ago. But the biggest and happiest news of the day upsetted the software giant big time -- their most secret, precious and game-changing Windows 8 has already been leaked the same day Microsoft announced the finalization of Windows 8.

I couldn't believe my eyes on what I was reading. It was flashing through out the Google News -- Windows 8 leaked, leaked, leaked! It's still two months to go for the official reveal of Windows 8 family but, fortunately for us, we don't have to wait any longer. Windows 8, the most rebuilt version of Windows since Windows 95 is already out for download via torrents in its ground state.

It's official! Microsoft announced the next version in the Windows family, the Windows 8 would launch sometime in late October. While the release date may not be more precise, the announcement surely gave relief to all those Windows fanboys waiting desperately for the final product. That includes me.

The other news is that, Microsoft is finally going to ditch the Windows Retail Version. Yup. That means no Windows 8 Retail -- just the Windows 8 Upgrade DVD and the Windows 8 System Builder Kit for OEMs.

According to Communications manager Brandon LeBlanc, Windows 8 would be out sometime by October, most probably late October. Windows 8 would be RTM by the first week of August. Windows 8 will be available in 109 languages across 231 markets worldwide.
