Microsoft unveils Windows 8 box art, comes in 5 flavors

Microsoft has not only announced today that pre-orders for Windows 8 are a go but also it is showing off the 5 different boxes that the retail packaging will be available in for purchase.

If you have been upset that you and your neighbors both had the same box for your retail copy of Windows 7, fret not, as Windows 8 will bring with it 5 variations for you to choose from. While announcing earlier today that Windows 8 is officially up for pre-order, Microsoft also showed off the box art for the new platform.

Windows 8 will come in five flavors, which you can see here in this post. Why the different colors? Why not? While we do not have a firm answer as to why there are 5 different variations of box art of the same product, options are never a a bad thing.

So, after taking a look at all five options, will the colorful packaging sway you from a digital download or are you determined to purchase what might be the last physical copy of Windows to ever be sold on retail shelves?
