On a side non gaming news(but news that will definitely be relevant to us PC gamers), Microsoft has announced that Windows 8 will be releasing this October. This is not the launch date mind you, but the release date of the RTM version, which is the Release To Manufacturing version. What happens is this version is given to system manufacturers, tech sites, reviewers and IT professionals/programmers etc before the actual consumer launch date. Microsoft VP, Rami Teller informed the audience during the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference of the RTM release of Windows 8. Not a major leap from Windows 7 certainly with a strong emphasis on touch surfaces, you'll still be able to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 for what they quote to be USD$15 for North America(I am uncertain if this is the equivalent price for the upgrade that we must pay for the South East Asian region). I'm sure nearer to release we'll see all sorts of performance comparison between windows 8 and 7. Are any of you thinking of upgrading to Windows 8?
