It’s raining leaks as far as the Windows 8 Release Candidate version goes. Over the past few weeks we saw a couple of leaks of Windows 8 RC suggesting some changes in the color options as well as revelation about new SKU’s like the Country Specific Windows 8 China SKU.

As reported earlier by Win8China, Microsoft is going to Metrofy the existing Ribbon UI in the Windows Explorer in the Release Candidate version of Windows 8 which is rumored to be released in the month of June. It was quite evident right from the release of the Windows 8 Developer Preview and then Consumer Preview that Microsoft is embracing the Metro UI with the new Start Screen and ditching the Start Menu from the previous versions of Windows operating system, though keeping a separate desktop mode for users who prefer the conventional Windows desktop.
If these leaks turn out to be true, would mean that somewhere in near future Microsoft will slowly modify the Ribbon UI in the Windows explorer to be more on the Metro Side.
