Windows 8 has already gone gold, according to one report. 9200.16384.win8_rtm.120725-1247 is the RTM (release to manufacturing) Build of Windows 8, signed off on July 25th, 2012. If you think about it, Windows 7 also RTM’d around the same date three years ago, so it makes perfect sense that the Redmond company has already wrapped up the next iteration of the Windows platform. And as tradition goes, MSDN and TechNet subscribers should brace for impact, because Windows 8 RTM is coming their way soon. How soon, well, Windows 8 RTM downloads should get green light from Microsoft sometime this week. Of course, only those customers with paid MSDN and TechNet subscriptions will be able to grab the Windows 8 RTM bits, at least at this point in time. Microsoft has yet to officially announce the RTM of Windows 8, but I take it that it won’t be long now. As already announced, Windows 8 general availability is slated for October 26th, 2012.
