We'll get a closer look at Windows 8 on February 29th Microsoft has sent out press invites to the official Windows 8 Consumer Preview launch at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The company will showcase the long-awaited public beta on February 29th in a two hour event from 3pm to 5pm, at the annual mobile show.
Microsoft had promised to release the Consumer Preview by the end of February, so it would seem that it'll be made available following the event at MWC.
Aside from the time, date and purpose of the event, additional details are thin on the ground.

The final manufacturers copy is expected to be sent out in second half of 2012.
