In recent times all information about the new functionality of Windows 8 was obtained from the leaks occurred, by examining the entrails of many system libraries and operating system resources. We have a very small amount of information obtained in other ways, which I would like to share.

As mentioned earlier, Microsoft in late June, was supposed to collect CTP-8 version of Windows to show (and maybe delivery to "test drive") to its partners at the conference WPC2011, which will be held in Los Angeles from 10 to 14 July. Information on whether the assembly is created, we do not have, but there is something more significant: one of the team members shared information WZor.net that the beta version of Windows 8, according to their sources, will be collected in the interval from 14 to 28 July.
Translated: more at source
 
Rumor: Windows 8 preview build coming next week

Several sources are claiming that a Windows 8 Community Technical Preview (CTP) build will be released next week. This rumor isn’t without hope however. Microsoft is holding its Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) from July 11 through July 14. One reliable source we have seen in the past is MSFTtmon Twitter, who also has claimed Microsoft will release a Windows 8 CTP build at WPC 2011

I would venture to guess the CTP build will be 7989. Most of us have that now. LOL

and if my information is correct, the CTP will only be distributed to Gold partners. Historically they do not leak. They will get it through normal distribution methods or as a handout at the end of the WPC event.

After PDC 2011 (now called Build) in September, we should see a well worked beta. It should turn out to be a public beta that users can submit feedback through their MS Connect accounts.
 
I am hoping for a beta...mainly because I have a tablet that I am anxious to try it out on. I want to see if its it any better than windows 7 :)
 
один из участников команды WZor.net поделился информацией о том, что бета-версия Windows 8, по словам их источников, будет собрана в промежутке с 14 по 28 июля

However, the sources go on to say that they expect Microsoft to begin work on the beta branch of Windows 8 sometime between 14-28 July, and that builds should appear during this time.

Beta-

I don't get it. Isn't that the same article the OP posted? :crazy:
 
I do know that Microsoft do have an event coming up in September, for the life of me, can't remember what it is.
 
Seriously, I can't wait to get my hands on a beta build! Had so much fun using the official beta of 7... and to be honest, 7 is starting to annoy me, for one reason or the other, not to get into discussion about that.

I'd love to try out 8, and will definitely buy it if it proves worthy :D
 
August build would be better for me - I'm going to be (finally!) upgrading my phone in Sept, as that is when the Bionic and Galaxy S II are both supposed to drop....

I'mma be a busy, busy man in Sep lol
