What will we do to promote Super User when Windows 8 is released?

Historically, new Windows OS releases result in a huge traffic increase for sites that have lots of Windows content. We saw it for Super User when Windows 7 was released, and Lowell at How-to-Geek said it doubled and tripled his site traffic. Which brings me to...

Windows 8

So -- how is Super User planning to promote itself along with the lead-up to Windows 8, to "ride the wave" of interest in this $40 (!) upgrade, arguably one of the biggest and deepest changes to Windows since Windows 95?

Windows 8 will be released on October 26th, 2012, and it will be available to download via MSDN in the first week of August. That gives us about 3 months to

  1. Install the final version via MSDN and ask & answer lots of great questions here on Super User about it

  2. Plan for a burst of publicity at the time of launch.
