Microsoft will launch the new Windows 8 next month on the 26th, but according to a Chinese website, the company is planning to cancel the retail package of the new operating system. This is obviously highly unlikely, at least because no other source close to the company talked on the matter, but according to WPDang, the Redmond-based firm has almost made a decision. Citing inside sources, the aforementioned site claims that users won't be able to buy a retail package of Windows 8, but instead there will be several other ways to get the new operating system.
