Today Steven Sinofsky showed off an early version of Windows 8 (screenshots below).
He later did an interview and one of the questions was why Microsoft decided to show it off now. He responded by saying "We’re at a point in engineering the next release of Windows where we are demonstrating our progress and bringing together an even broader set of partners required to deliver solutions to customers."
To me it seems that Microsoft is ready to start sending out some copies of Windows 8 soon and that can only mean one thing... leaks! I'm guessing that 99.99% of everyone that has signed up so far is simply here for the latest leak news.
So that's my take on it. In about 2 hours Steve Ballmer will make his keynote address and Windows 8 is rumored to be on his list of talking points. I'm hoping we'll have a little more news regarding the next version of Windows, but for now here are some screenshots of an early build of Windows 8.
