X-bit Labs reports Microsoft has started to distribute Windows 8 Milestone 2 to OEM partners and a group of testers.
Microsoft Corp. has started to supply the final build of Microsoft Windows 8 "Milestone 2" operating system to a group of testers as well as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Based on unofficial reports, the software giant is on schedule with its pre-releases and the operating system should hit the market in early 2013.

According to Wzor.net web-site, which specializes on leaking various builds of software by Microsoft, the world's largest software designer made available the Windows 8 M2 build 7971.0.110324-1900 to an expanded group of testers as well as personal computer makers earlier this week through its Microsoft Connect web-site. Observers from Wzor expect the build to be leaked to the Internet by the weekend.
