Windows 8 Launch Event Slated for October 25, Held In New York

Microsoft plans to hold a launch event for its upcoming client operating system, Windows 8, on October 25, 2012. The event will be held in New York. In all likelihood, the event leads up to a midnight launch of the operating system on the 26th. Microsoft's next big launch for the year, the Surface, could be part of the event. Windows 8 is Microsoft's next major update to its flagship product, which radically changes its user-interface for the "post-PC era." It is also the first mainline Windows version since Windows 95 to support a machine architecture apart from x86 and IA-64 (Windows 8 RT, supporting ARM).

EpicShweetnessNah! Most of us here are smart enough to know Apple isn't the hype it is. Plus I hate Apple with a burning passion, I'm just saying.
But the rest of the world isn't tho.

This thread is about the Microsoft Windows 8 launch event, not about Apple. Keep it on topic.

I would go to this if it was closer. I've never been to a launch event of any kind at it would be interesting to see what goes on. Free stuff would be a bonus.

erocker... Windows 8 is okay, but it's nothing very exciting for me with the exception of SSD support.
What do you mean SSD support?
