REDMOND, Wash. — July 22, 2009 — Microsoft Corp. today announced the release to manufacturing (RTM) of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the next versions of its flagship desktop and server operating systems. With the completion of this development phase, industry partners are readying products in time for the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 worldwide general launches. Windows 7 will be generally available to customers around the world on October 22, and Windows Server 2008 R2 will be generally available on or before that date. As always, current customers of the Windows Volume Licensing program, Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) subscribers and TechNet subscribers will be among the first to get customer access to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 in the coming weeks.
 
Meh, I'm happy with XP still. We have 2 copies of Win 7 preordered though.
 
I was stupid and didn't pay attention to the date that pre-order promo ended. $50 is pretty sweet for a legit version of Windows.

Well here we recently built a PC for my sister, and with Vista here you get a voucher for the equivalent version of Win 7. So that wasn't too bad! Once Win 7 arrives we'll have a spare copy of Vista for all it's worth... :eek:.
