Windows 8 latest build number revealed

JMH · Apr 27, 2012

Microsoft is scheduled to release the Release Preview version of Windows 8 sometime in the first week of June, or about five weeks from now.
Even though we have a new timetable for the next public version of Windows 8, it looks like the company is still internally testing release candidate builds for the Release Preview.
The reliable Windows 8-themed site Winunleaked.tk reports that the version number for the latest internal build for Windows 8 has been updated yet again.
According to the site's Windows 8 builds list, the latest build number for the Consumer Preview release candidate is officially called 8328.0.winmain.120420-1909.
By contrast, we had previously reported that the final build number for the public release of the Consumer Preview was 8250.

Finally some progress. I see some clean installs in my future.

Just to add...

Windows 8 NT build = NT 6.2

Windows 7 and Vista are NT6 builds as well -

Vista = NT 6.0
Windows 7 = NT 6.1

Windows 2000 & XP = NT 5.0 / NT 5.1 respectively.

I wonder how long it will take for MS to release an OS with a completely revamped kernel (7.x)...

Windows 16? But by then they will call it something else.
