Windows 7 will be available in market on October 22nd
Windows Se7en is going to be released as RTM ( Release To Manufacture ) on 22nd of October of this year. Now all users can easily taste the final version of Windows 7 in few months only and can get most of it. Recently Microsoft Released the RC of it in May and now its officially announced on Windows Team Blog about its general availability.
As per Windows 7 Team Blog
Some people may not be able to wait for Windows 7 to arrive before having to order a new PC (like parents who are sending their sons or daughters off to school who need of a PC to take with them). Fortunately, there is no need to wait. Soon, customers will be able to take advantage of the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program. This program enables participating retailers and OEMs to offer a special deal to upgrade to Windows 7 for customers purchasing a qualifying PC. I’ll be doing another blog post about this program with a date and more details when we get closer to availability.
Obviously, Release To Manufacturing (RTM) is an important milestone on the path to GA. We anticipate that we’ll be able to make the RTM code for Windows 7 available to our partners sometime in the 2nd half of July. We also expect to be able to make RTM code for Windows Server 2008 R2 available to our partners in this time frame as well.
