Windows 8 Is Finished! Released to Manufacturing for October Launch

Microsoft Windows boss Steven Sinofsky announced in a blog post today that Windows 8, its next operating system for PCs and tablets, is finished. That means the company will release the finalized Release To Manufacturing (RTM) version of Windows 8 to third-party manufacturers soon if they haven't already. Manufacturers will have the next three months to get Windows 8 installed on their machines in time for the October 26 launch.
