The software giant confirmed Sinofsky’s appearance on Monday. Sinofsky will appear at All Things Digital D9 conference. A source, familiar with Microsoft’s plans, has informed WinRumors that Microsoft is planning to demo its Windows 8 Tablet UI at D9. Microsoft has a habit of introducing new technologies at the Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital Conference, which will run from May 31 to June 2 this year. Bill Gates introduced Microsoft’s Surface computer in 2007 and the company demonstrated Windows 7 multitouch in 2008. Microsoft will show a “technology preview” of its Windows 8 Tablet experience at the conference next week.

If this is true (Hope it is) then it means we will have some new info and details on what the Immersive/Tablet UI will look like. Or at least something else new on Windows 8. It'll end up the dry-spell of news we've had.

And a build leak most likely. After these events, a build sometimes leaks. See Windows 7.

I thought that was only after PDC in September?

Spider-Vice

Dunno, there can be one courageous developer. But yes Windows 7 was at PDC.

Great. (laughs) Now the Law of Internet Grapevining has attached. Within two weeks, canouna and friends will be tweeting "Got Win8 build @ D! Leaking (insert date here)"

Windows 7 was demoed at D9 too, but Build 6589, the build shown, still hasn't been leaked yet.

6589 was demoed at D6 but never leaked...a later M2 build 6608 leaked though, and that build had the same M2 superbar that 6589 had..

Tbh, I'm not sure that a build will leak from this demo. MS would surely have learned a lesson from the 6956 leak, and tightened the security around the builds...

But there have been 3 Windows 8 leaks so far.

Just because there have been doesn't mean there will be.
