October 22nd
Microsoft announced this morning the official release date of their latest operating system - Windows 7. The team at Redmond will make it available to the world on October 22nd, just a day earlier than Acer leaked a few weeks ago.
Unlike its predecessor, 7 has been warmly welcomed by the vast majority of people who jumped on the release candidate and even the surprisingly stable beta.
While Windows 7 is more of an evolutionary upgrade from Vista, it's certainly a worthy one; it may just be what Microsoft needs to get the masses to willingfully upgrade their XP and even Vista computers.
Pricing should be in line with Vista and we'll probaby get hit by a slew of not-so-different versions.

Ahem.
This is good news.
I hope it fixes my blue screens. I can't seem to play games for more than short periods of time at this point.
Same thing here. Sad times.
Going to wait for official release I think.
I also don't like how say you want to install Windows 7 onto your third hard disk, it'll put the boot loader onto what hard drive is set to your 'C:' drive at the time of installation (instead of onto the hard disk it is being installed onto, like all previous versions of Windows).
I don't see what the use of that system is, and I hope it is just one of the things they'll change for the RC. Currently if you have say 4 HDs, and want to install Win 7 on one particular drive, you have to disconnect the other three drives and only run the one HD that you want to install to when you first install.
