    If RTM would be released in June, they maybe would take full advantage of 2012 having a leap second (June 30th, 23:59:60) :p

    I don't think for a minute it will RTM in June. Windows 7 hit RTM in late July 2009 (I remember because I had it within a day or two) and Windows 8 is about 6 weeks or so behind Windows 7's schedule. Therefore, I would guess Windows 8 to hit RTM anywhere from mid-to-late August at the earliest all the way up until maybe late September. That said, late September might be cutting it a bit close for a holiday GA (General Availability) and for the OEMs to have systems ready for holiday sales. So, I think Microsoft will push hard to RTM by late August or early September.

    ^ And what about Spider Solitare? Minesweeper?

    And as I said like million times here... I wonder if they'll rebuild Paint, Notepad etc. as Metro Apps? :p

    These names suck, tbh. And the PaintPlay is the only app I really like, though. :$
