The news comes from a forum that has sources close to Microsoft, they say that Microsoft is planning to RTM Windows 8 by July 12th 2012. Not only that, but the blog also things the OS will hit shelfs on September 30th 2012, 2 more months after the RTM is finished.
 
As Steven Sinofsky said in a recent Building Windows blog post, the company plans to finalize Windows 8 within a 2 month time frame, so that also confirms plans for July.
 
A user by the name of Canouna has also "confirmed" this news, stating that Microsoft is in fact aiming at a July release to manufacturing.
