Microsoft has announced that Windows 8 will arrive in retail stores starting in late October.
According to The Verge, Microsoft's Tami Reller revealed the information at the company's Worldwide Partner Conference in Canada. Reller indicated that Microsoft's Surface tablets will arrive by late October although no specific release date was announced. Reller also revealed that Microsoft is currently on track to finish the Windows 8 software sometime during the early part of August.
We expect The launch of Windows Phone 8 is expected to coincide with Windows 8, meanintg at least one device running Windows Phone 8 may launch in the same month. Well, if Microsoft had any marketing nous about them they would do so at the very minimum.
