The upcoming operating system will be available October 26th, making clear the time frame that was formerly just "late October."
Microsoft called "Metro," the key new feature of Windows 8, the most important interface redesign in over a decade.
Metro is built for touchscreen devices, and Microsoft is releasing its standard desktop OS along with two tablet version, Windows RT for ARM devices and Windows 8 Pro for Intel/AMD.
The company revealed its own tablet, the Surface, last month, to much acclaim.
