According to the official Windows blog, the much anticipated OS will be available to devs and the IT crowd starting August 15; Microsoft business partners and customers with Microsoft Software Assurance for Windows can get it the next day.

Windows 8 is set for general release on Oct. 26 for a $39.99 upgrade and will be standard on all new Windows PCs.
