Windows Microsoft's original plan was to release Windows 7 three years after Windows Vista, which would put the release date somewhere in January of 2010. Microsoft already made it clear that it would ship sooner, before the holiday season, but we've now got what is most likely the official release dates. Windows 7 will be released to manufacturing at the end of July, with the actual release date being set for October 22 - 2009, that is.

Hmmh, if those are upcoming improvements it looks like Fedora 11 steals most of the Ubuntu 9.10's thunder already.

I'm pretty impressed how well Windows 7 test versions has worked so far. A "Competition" between different OSs will be interesting. After Vista I wasn't so confident that the next Windows would run well on the Eee PCs, but obviously MS has worked hard and did a really good job.
