Intel CEO Paul Otellini told employees in Taiwan that Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system is being released before it's fully ready, a person who attended the company event said. Improvements still need to be made to the software, Otellini told employees at a company meeting in Taipei, Bloomberg reported. However, releasing the operating system before it's completely ready is the right move, as Microsoft can make improvements after it ships, Otellini told staffers. Intel issued a statement in response to the report saying the report was "unsubstantiated" and noting that Otellini is on record as saying "Windows 8 is one of the best things that ever happened to Intel". Microsoft said that Windows 8 is "the most tested, reviewed and ready operating system in Microsoft's history", after over 16 million test participants for the operating system. The first devices running Windows 8 are expected to launch late next month.
