    Are we expecting the Z to come with Windows 8 preinstalled soon after Windows 8 is officially released at the end of next month? Or will we have to wait until the new model sometime next year before Windows 8 comes preinstalled.

    I stopped by the Sony store today and the rep said that the Z won't have Win 8 preloaded until the new model but I just take that with a grain of salt because there doesn't seem to be any backing to it. I was under the presumption that the Win 8 config would come out soon after it's released as I remember when Win 7 was launched that all their computers came with Win 7 and not Vista- even the models that came out just a few months before (Vaio P).

    Any thoughts or educated guesses as to what may happen?
