Well the news from the CES Conference this week indicates that there will be a new development release of Windows 8 on February 1 and a potential public release in October.

Presenting at it's last CES Microsoft indicated that Kinect (that crazy control with your body feature on the XBOX that makes you look like you are performing sign language at your TV) will be a feature of Windows 8 ensuring that you will soon see people on the train making strange hand signals at their laptop as they run applications.

Apparently Microsoft have been wooing developers and at release time there will be wide range of Kinect available applications ready to go.

Add that to the new all-in-one version of Windows that is meant to run on everything from Atom Netbooks to Laptops, Desktops and mobile phones and Microsoft could be on to a winner here.

I can't wait!
