Question about
Do you think after the Build conference, we will see a beta release?
Microsoft is saying we will see a full version of Windows 8 next fall. Build is Microsoft's big event this year discussing all things Windows 8 (Happening Mid-September), and considering we are only a year out from the offical release of Windows 8, do you think we could possibly see a beta release either at build or sometime soon after, and if so will you try it out?

If they plan on releasing it next fall it is unlikely that a beta will be released with so long left to go in the development cycle. They might start a closed alpha test and invite a very small number of users, but I wouldn't expect a full-time beta until maybe Spring of next year.
