Again, someone told me that the news will be good, perhaps,
An RTM of Windows 8 from Microsoft, due out in 2012 but first the RC version for April 2012.

But who would like to test it? :OD

For me, that's not a quite trustworthy source.

Well, even though the article is now old (for Windows 8), I agree in that the Release Candidate builds of Windows 8 will almost certainly start being released in around that time period (around March to May).

Also, as far as the RTM build of Windows 8 being compiled in July, I heard that it was going to be compiled in August, so possibly, it's going to be compiled in July (as with Windows 7 earlier), yet not released to such people as Microsoft partners until August. I've also heard that it will be distributed at the BUILD conference in September, from that MSNerd source that Andrew Tapferke linked to back in December, although some people have disputed that source's information.

Well, I came across it when I wrote about Google Windows 8 RTM:

Windows 8 RTM | Windows 8 Beta
windows8beta.com/tag/windows-8-rtm
Block all results windows8beta.com
We Have Reported Earlier Windows 8 That Would Be released in 2012. Today reports are coming via Mary Jo Foley That may RTM Windows 8 by April 2012. Earlier ...

While I can understand the Release Candidate builds of Windows 8 arriving in April, I can't possibly see the RTM build (or even pre-RTM builds) even being compiled then, let alone actually released to the public.

Actually, the article says RC build will be compiled/release in January 2012... XD So it's obvious they overestimated the dev process as well as don't know [censored]... 8-)

Just a vague rumor that's totally false. Locked.
