Windows 8 For Tablets Could Be Demonstrated Next Month

Windows 8Almost every major electronics brand now has a tablet of its own, mostly Android based. But Windows seems to have been lost in the wind rather with Honeycomb tablets and iPads making their way to the market. And now, we have a hint at Windows’ re arrival at the tablet industry. It is now being reported that the tablet’s first glimpse could be shown off as early as June. Windows 8‘s leaked UI screenshots have been circulating for quite some time, but nothing was known about the tablet version of Windows 8.

According to a source Microsoft Windows’ Chief, Steven Sinofsky will be giving a demonstration on the new Windows 8 OS for tablets at the All Things Digital D9 conference which is to be held in June. It is expected that Windows 8′s tablet version would feature live tiles much like the Windows Phone 7 platform. Microsoft has some serious catching up to do with their tablet OS. With already established operating systems like iOS, Android, webOS and QNX it should be quite hard for Microsoft to get right back on top. But well, it’s not actually about getting back on top but it’s about giving users what they want. Windows 8′s beta version is supposed to be revealed in September with the first tablet featuring Windows 8 to be launched in 2012.
