Thats right folks! Windows 8 and Microsoft Surface launched early this morning in New York City! If you weren’t lucky enough to get a personal invite to the anxiously awaited event (don’t worry, I wasn’t either!) and you missed catching it live, you can actually catch every exciting moment via the webcast below.

If after seeing the above, you get ants in your pants and you need to experience Windows 8 for yourself ASAP, then I’ve got great news for you. Microsoft is inviting each and every one of us to join the celebration at a retail store near you tomorrow, October 26^th to see the latest Windows 8 devices in person, including Surface!

The new Surface is pretty darn sexy if you ask me!

And if you’re scared of upgrading (just $39.99 from Windows Vista, XP or 7) because you just don’t think you can handle learning yet another new operating system, The Microsoft retail stores will also host ongoing free drop-in Windows 8 training sessions in the theatre area of the store, so customers can get the most of their new Windows 8 device.

So how many of you are planning on upgrading to Windows 8 or have Surface on your Christmas wishlist this year? Why or why not? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
