Windows 8 branding and packaging revealed
It seems like Microsoft's shift to the newer, cleaner and sleeker design and user interface in Windows Phone and Windows 8 is also translating nicely to their product packaging. The first images of Windows 8 boxes were uncovered by The Verge and show the Windows 8 and Windows 8 Variant boxes which somehow reflect the screen and livetile layouts from Windows Phone. Windows 8 is expected to ship October 26 although the Release Preview has been around for months for anyone interested in trying out the revamped OS.
