Microsoft's next-generation operating system arrived as a freely downloadable Consumer Preview in February.
The difference between that version and the Release Preview might not be very big in terms of new features, but we definitely expect bug fixes and improved stability, as Release Preview is usually the last major version of the OS before the final release.
Windows 8 is expected ship later this year as three main editions: Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, and the tablet-based Windows 8 RT.
