Microsoft to Show a Pre-Beta Windows 8 on July 10

Anticipation for Windows 8 is building, and Microsoft apparently is going to be using its Worldwide Partners Conference from July 10 to July 14 to show off a pre-beta build of Windows 8.

There is also a rumor that not only will Microsoft be releasing this pre-beta to Microsoft gold partners, but that the company will be starting work on the Windows 8 beta branch right after the end of the conference – with plans to release a full beta at their new build conference being held in September.

According to more information available Microsoft would be releasing Windows 8 pre beta to Microsoft gold partners just after WPC 2011.

It has already been confirmed by multiple sources that Microsoft would be releasing Windows 8 beta during Build conference which is scheduled to held in September. Further according to rumors the RTM version of Windows 8 would be released in April 2012.
