Windows 8 Evolves to Milestone 3, Beta Is Next

Although there’s no official confirmation from Microsoft, Windows 8 has reportedly evolved to the next stage in its development process, and the last one ahead of Beta.

Leaked information available since last month had previously revealed that the software giant was planning to start the coding process for Windows 8 Milestone 3 on February 28th, 2011.

Additional leaked details indicate that the Windows team has moved ahead with the development of Windows 8 right on schedule.

Well I don't have any machine for the beta but I know you'll give us daily updates and report all the bugs.

Sure seems like they got to beta a lot faster than Win 7 did but without all the hype.
