Microsoft's been pushing tablet computers for the best part of a decade, so you can imagine how happy the iPad's success makes them. But Microsoft doesn't give up easily, and Windows 8 tablets are apparently imminent. So what's Steve Ballmer going to be shouting about when he takes the stage at CES next month? Windows 8 tablets' release date isn't imminent Microsoft could be ready to unveil tablets running Windows 8 at CES 2011 in January, according to the New York Times . The NYT credited an unnamed source for the leak, which suggests that Microsoft's keynote will be enlivened by the arrival of the next generation of Windows, as well as Samsung and Dell tablets. UPDATE: No Windows 8 tablets were shown at CES. However, the Windows 8 release date may be sooner than you think, with a beta in the spring. That means Windows 8 tablets could be out by late summer. UPDATE: According to Bloomberg there will be no Windows for tablets until 2012.
