So October is the fixed month for Windows 8 launching?

Let's see.... My Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 subscription will be expired on October the 7th. Quite a good timing to do a fresh OS install. May be I will give a shot. If I like it, I will buy it. I have a genuine copy of Windows 7 to buy an upgrade which (said to be) only $39,99. If not, I am going to stay with Windows 7, at least for a moment while waiting bug fixes.
