WindowsLeaks: Windows 8 Release Preview drops 31 May

Ol’ Chuck Chan, Corporate vice president of the Windows 8 development team dropped this bomb: Windows 8 Release Preview (RP) is landing today, 31 May.

What else, you scream? The delightfully square Metro UI will feature Internet Explore 10, bundled with Flash. Why the big deal? Flash was originally planned for surgical removal from IE10 , but the big-M is backtracking on this, and has decided to hook Flash up with its million-plus customer base.

Anyway. When it drops, the Gear will summarily download Windows 8 RP, which was scheduled for the first week of June, and let the Windows-loving world see what we think of it. Read the full, sad little leaked blog below and give it a click to see the bigger picture.
