Windows 8 has yet to reach the Beta development milestone, even though Microsoft is approaching the moment when it will deliver the first deep insight into the next major iteration of its Windows client.
Sources familiar with the evolution of Windows 7’s successor reveal that Windows 8 is still in the Milestone 3 (M3) stage of the development process, the last phase before the platform will graduate to Beta, which has yet to happen.
The few Windows 8 leaks that happened earlier this year have revealed some details about the next version of the operating system, but for the past months the volume of unofficial information and code has dried up.
According to WinBeta, Windows 8 has reached Build 8063.0.110804-1922, still a M3 testing release. As the Build string information reveals, this particular version of Windows 8 was compiled on August 4th, 2011, namely last week.
There are no specific details about any new features, capabilities or functionality in Windows 8 Build 8063.0.110804-1922.
In the past months, Microsoft has opened up more and more on Windows 8, with the first pieces of official info being shared with the public.
In addition to Systems-on-a-Chip / ARM architectures support, the software giant revealed that Windows 8 will be tailored to next generation NUI (natural user interface) form factors and that it will support HTML5 and JavaScript applications natively.
The Redmond company is now gearing up for BUILD, the evolution of the Professional Developers Conference, an event focused on Windows 8, as Microsoft stressed time and again.
The BUILD Windows conference has already been sold out, despite the fact that the software giant did not share any details about the sessions or the content which participants will get access to.
Microsoft is bound to provide the first Windows 8 bits around BUILD, but it’s unclear whether the company will offer a pre-Beta M3 Build, or the fully fledged Beta development milestone.
