According to current general expectations, Windows 8 is expected to be released at the end of 2011, but it is also likely to wait until 2012, which is also in line with the Microsoft product roadmap.

Steve Peterson revealed that Intel is working with Microsoft to ensure that Windows 8 fully supports USB 3.0, but Intel will not be blindly optimistic about the mainstream adoption of new technologies. Only high-end PCs will be equipped in the next few years. USB 3.0 interface.
