I wouldn't put any stock in articles about the date of Win7 delivery until it's imminent. Release dates are not so predictable early on and the forecasts are all quite confidential, especially at this stage.

The Magic 8 Ball works OK in the planning stages. But later, when more specificity is required, it's usually a good idea to move up to dice.
