Windows 7 RTM…almost here!

Windows 7, which I’ve been using in beta form since January, is a major release for Microsoft. The combination of stability, speed, and UI innovations in this version have left me feeling very good about this version of Windows. I’ve got the RC running on all of my machines, and it runs great no matter whether it’s a netbook or a powerful workstation.  I’ll be upgrading to the RTM version shortly.

If you’re interested in grabbing the bits, here’s the schedule:

  • Aug 6:  MSDN Subscribers
  • Aug 7:  Volume Licensing Customers (VLSC)
  • Aug 16:  Partners (via the Microsoft Partner Network Portal)
  • Aug 23: Action Pack Subscribers
  • Oct 22: General Availability
