Windows 8 will be called....Windows 8!

Looks like we'll have
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 8 Pro
  • Windows RT (for ARM tablets)

It's nice they've simplified the naming and number of versions. Apparently it was a bit of a PITA for some to figure out whether they wanted the Home Basic, Premium, Pro, or Ultimate version of Windows 7.
