Microsoft confirms Windows 8 public beta slated for February 2012 launch @ Slash Gear

Ready for a (hopefully) more stable taste of next version of Windows?  Looks like we get a chance in a few months! 

Microsoft has just confirmed that the public beta release of Windows 8 will come in February of 2012, a date that was danced around tentatively, and which we covered previously. At this rate, it’s looking pretty good for Microsoft in terms of hitting its development milestones for their tablet-ready new operating system. Now they just have to gear up in hopes of reaching their projected sales, whatever that might be, and which probably will be announced in the near future by the technology giant.

While I am excited that a new version is around the corner, I am still getting used to Windows 7.  But the idea of an OS that covers multiple platforms might be worth the early upgrade.
