“The next version of our operating system, Windows 8, will be generally available on October 26, 2012. At that time, we will begin selling the Surface, a series of Microsoft-designed and manufactured hardware devices,” Microsoft stated in an SEC filing reported by CNET.

There’s a pro version of the Surface coming around 90 days later.
