Possible October Release for Windows 7

Submitted by Kenneth Pennington on Thursday, 30 April 2009No Comment

After months of debate about the release date of the Microsoft Corporation’s Windows 7, yet another rumor surfaced today. Chris Hall over at Pocket-lint first reported that Acer’s United Kingdom Marketing Director, Bobby Watkins, leaked that the “23rd October is the date the Windows 7 will be available. There is a 30 day upgrade time so that customers don’t wait to buy a new computer, so if you buy during that 30 day period, you’ll get a free upgrade to Windows 7.”

He also confirmed that Vista users will have a free upgrade to Windows 7. And according to Pocket-lint, “Talking about their new all-in-one model, the Z5600 PC, specifically designed for Windows 7, the company revealed that the Asus Eee Top rival, will actually be shipping at the end of September to be in stores for people to ‘touch and feel’.”

This news regarding an earlier than expected release of the new operating system should prove to boost Microsoft in the coming holiday season. The Redmond company should be able to take advantage of some high school seniors shipping off to college as well as Christmas computer shoppers.
