Windows 8 Consumer Preview Coming at End of February
Microsoft announced Wednesday that its "Consumer Preview" of Windows 8 will arrive Feb. 29. The preview will be launched that day at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.
CEO Steve Ballmer said multiple times during his keynote at International CES last month that the unspecified "next chapter" of the Windows 8 launch was scheduled for February.
Microsoft has not announced a specific timetable for the Windows 8 launch itself.

End of Life Status For White Macbook
Although the MacBook has been dead since last July for consumers, it remained available as a cheap option for educational institutions…until now. Apple has just completely killed off the old Mac model. The company has now classified the white MacBook as “End of Life,” indicating it will no longer be produced or sold whatsoever. It is likely production for the MacBook stopped a while ago, and Apple made the move to only sell the MacBook to educational institutions in order to rid itself of the extra inventory.
As the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models live on, no other portable Mac models have taken over the MacBook’s spot. However, it seems Apple has replaced the need for a MacBook with its other portable products: iDevices, particularly the iPad. As the old MacBook was meant as a solution for students more than anything, the iPad has replaced it in that area. The iPad offers many advantages for students that even the white, plastic MacBook couldn’t provide, such as ultra portability.
The MacBook was originally introduced in May of 2006 as a replacement for Apple’s iBook. The MacBook was Apple’s best-selling notebook during most of its lifetime, although the lower-end MacBook Air models started taking over that title upon their introduction. The low-end 11-inch, 64GB MacBook Air now fills the old MacBook’s spot as Apple’s most inexpensive MacBook at $999 USD.
