The latest build number for Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system, 8184.0.winmain.120113-1850, has been revealed



From Neowin:

The numbering means that Microsoft is getting closer and closer to launching the much anticipated beta version of Windows 8 to the masses. As we reported earlier, a leaked road map for Windows 8 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.

After that, the leaked road map claims that Microsoft's own testers will then vote on which of the Windows 8 builds will in fact be the final beta build with the decision being made on January 28. The beta build will then be shown at an internal Microsoft preview on January 30.
