Microsoft released a preview of Windows 8 to developers this evening, just hours after the software giant showed off the finer details of the operating system today at the Microsoft BUILD conference. The next version of Windows, which completely revamps the operating system to be compatible with both touchscreen devices like tablets and traditional PCs, is now available to anyone who wants it.
On Tuesday, Microsoft gave developers and journalists a chance to tinker with a developer preview of Windows 8, the latest overhaul of the OS that merges tablet, desktop, and mobile application development.
