Believe or not, folks, Microsoft execs still have not said when Windows 8 will be “done.”
“Done,” in this case, can mean either released to manufacturing or made generally available — your call. But in spite of any rumors you’ve read, pundits to whom you’ve cleaved, or partners who claim to be in the know, there’s been no officially sanctioned word.
This isn’t too surprising, given the increasingly secrecy-obsessed Windows regime. But given most of the sources and contacts with whom I converse believe Windows 8 to be very close to the finish line, it’s still somewhat interesting that no one from Microsoft has offered any substantial guidance here.
