According to a recent announcement by Microsoft, Windows 7 - the latest operating system by the Redmond company will be made available to the consumers for purchase in October.
The date for the General Availability was quoted as October 22nd Bill Veghte, the senior vice president of the Windows Business Group.
Looking at the roadmap for the Windows 7 OS, the efforts of Microsoft are definitely to be appreciated. The RC is already in the hands and the development process for Windows 7 shall be wrapped up by end of next month.
From all what is hoped from Microsoft is to not repeat the blunders that it made during the launch of Windows Vista. Even then, Microsoft remains the leader in industry with a 90% global OS market share.
As for the pricing of the OS, no details on that yet but we hope that they will be out by end of this month. Also, anyone buying a new PC with Windows Vista after June will receive a free upgrade to Windows 7 so it is a win-win situation for both Microsoft and the consumers.
