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.

good news everyone!
I feel this is a great turn by microsoft.
the windows 7 beta is very stable and it seems there will be no issues with the october release, so kudos to microsoft!
but linux still has one main advantage in user friendliness over windows: and that is the move windows with Alt+Click+Drag feature, it's inconceivable that windows didn't copy that simple yet powerful feature yet.
