The official release of Windows 7 is scheduled for October 22.

    Today, Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 7 should appear on store shelves on October 22. Thus, the information of the head of Acer was completely and completely confirmed.
    To be in time by then, Microsoft should complete work on the operating system in the middle or end of next month. This was announced by Bill Veghte, senior vice president of the company, in today's interview. “The feedback from RC testers is extremely positive,” Wegte said. This information was also confirmed by Steve Guggenheimer, Corporate Vice President, OEM, at Computex 2009.

    In the same interview, Phil McKinney, CTO of Computer Unit at HP, said he was completely happy with the date Microsoft appointed. “The preparations for the release are in full swing,” McKeanie said. “The quality of the code is simply outstanding.”

    A Microsoft spokesman, without going into details, also confirmed that the company intends to offer some kind of “guarantee” to users who bought a computer with Vista pre-installed in anticipation of the release of Windows 7, for free upgrade or upgrade with a discount to the new OS . As in the case of previous releases, the cost of the upgrade will depend entirely on the particular computer manufacturer, although Wegte said that only Vista Home Premium and more expensive editions of Windows Vista will be accepted in the program.

    The express update program will begin a little later, while Wegte hinted that the company is considering offering an upgrade discount to existing Windows Vista users.
