The last thing we need is another half baked version. An alpha or beta version by October would be ambitious, let alone RTM.
No thanks, it can stay in the oven.
Win 8 developer preview September @ build 2011
Win 8 public preview Jan
Win 8 RTM august
Win7 was similar, so not sure why you think it would be ambitious in the slightest. Seeing as win9 would be released in 2015 on thier normal timeframe.
Which would mean if April 2015 release, developer preview in April (which would coincide with build 2014, which is where we already know they're going to show off win9, then public preview in august 2014). So an April release would fit with everything that has been said so far.
