Microsoft's Windows 8 Release Preview looks to hit on May 31

Summary: Microsoft may be set to deliver the near-final release preview of Windows 8 to testers as early as May 31, according to an accidentally posted blog entry.
Thanks to an accidental blog post, Microsoft officials may have tipped their hand that the Windows 8 Release Preview ? the final public test build of Windows 8 ? may hit a bit earlier than many expected.
Microsoft officials have been promising for weeks that Windows 8 Release Preview would be available for download during the first week of June. But a May 30 post ? now pulled ? on a new Windows Hardware and Driver Developer blog ? outlined plans for availability for the Release Preview with a ?download here? link that slated to go live on May 31.
A few of the folks I follow on Twitter saw the post and wondered aloud whether the Windows 8 team might follow its well-trodden path of underpromising and overdelivering by pushing out the Release Preview earlier than promised.
