Windows 8 tablet UI to be demonstrated next week at AllthingsD conference?

Trying to drum up some excitement around the company, Microsoft is opening up their kimono quite a bit recently.



Winrumors suggests that Windows 8 for tablets may be released much earlier than Desktop Windows 8, which should allow Microsoft to get into the game much sooner than the normal desktop OS cycle would normally allow.

The Windows 8 tablet UI is expected to be heavily inspired by Windows Phone 7, with heavy usage of the Metro paradigm.
