In case you missed the announcement on Tuesday from the Windows team , Windows 7 will be in stores starting on October 22nd – just in time for the Holidays! Now, the Windows team haven’t publicly discussed their plans for international releases yet, so I suspect that the October 22nd date is a US-release date. But, keep an eye on the Windows Team blogs for further details.
Also, if you were thinking about getting a new PC or laptop for your sons and daughters headed off to school this Fall, and you really want them to have Windows 7, there will be a Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program . Through this program, participating retailers and OEM’s will be able to offer a special deal to upgrade to Windows 7 for customers purchasing a qualifying PC. Again, stay tuned to the blogs for more details on this program.
That’s the big news for today – from the AskPerf standpoint, we’ll be doing a launch series on Windows 7 very similar to the one we did back in February of 2008 for the Windows Server 2008 release.
Have a great Friday! Until next time …
