| | | Wndows 7 Is Finished & Has Already Sold Like Hotcakes
That's right, the guys in Redmond are done with Windows 7 and are about to send off the final gold version to manufacturing. Reports are also saying that the OS has pre-sold at rates which dwarf the initial Vista orders from just a few years ago. Quote:
Microsoft’s newest version of its operating system, Windows 7, is finally in the release-to-manufacturing (RTM) stage, so the OS will soon be preloaded on new computers. Though not officially released yet, Windows 7 is expected to be a hit. For instance, after just eight hours on Amazon UK, Windows 7 pre-orders outpaced the total number of pre-orders for Vista over a period of 17 weeks.
According to Microsoft, Windows 7, which offers seven different versions of the OS, has undergone significant testing, quality assurance and validation required to get to the RTM stage. Independent software and hardware vendors will be able to download Windows 7 RTM as early as August 6th. Microsoft will be rolling out Windows 7 to other partners in mid to late August. Enterprise customers and developers will be able to download Windows 7 RTM in English starting on August 7, with additional language functionality for Windows 7 released shortly after.

| | | My only issue with Vista and 7 are they both seem to still have that weird copy/paste lag.

| | | What price is it going to be for people with XP and want to upgrade? I haven't really followed it much, so I don't know a whole lot about W7. I need opinions here at which one I should get once each version is explained to me in short detail if anyone would love to take the time to do that for me! |
