A new rumor claims to have gotten hold of Microsoft's road map for the beta version of Windows 8, claiming that Microsoft is aiming to show the final beta version internally on January 30.



From Neowin:

Windows 8 is officially still in its pre-beta phase of development, with Microsoft only saying that the next version of its PC operating system will be released to the public in a beta form sometime in late February. A few days ago, the well known Windows 8 screenshot leak web site Winunleaked.tk claimed that the current version number for Windows 8 is up to 8176.

Now that same web site has claimed to have gotten a hold of Microsoft's current development road map for Windows 8. It claims that from now until January 23, Windows 8 will be considered to be in pre-beta form at Microsoft. On January 23, Windows 8 will go into what is known as Beta Escrow.
