Ok, I know, I know… I am late to the table with this one. But hey – better late than never. Have been busy at work this week – very busy so I haven’t had time to post anything.

Anyway, as probably most of you know already Microsoft has publicly announced that Windows 7 will be available in stores on 22 October this year. RTM is expected in the second half of July. This is great news and I am really looking forward to downloading the RTM from TechNet come August.

Well, you have to hand it to Microsoft – they stick to their plans… Although the bits have been available through torrents for a week already, they just released them on TechNet and Connect (and I assume MSDN as well).

Downloading… 🙂

At the moment writing up a guide on how to install a clean version of the RC (or the RTM when that time comes) and keep your settings and data. This will be posted on May 5th – when the RC is released to the general public.

Microsoft published this page today clearly stating that Windows 7 RC will be publicly available starting May 5, 2009. As a TechNet member I have gone to my downloads page, but alas, it is not yet available. Will update this post as soon as it goes live there.

Good times…

And oh by the way; if it is made available before May on TechNet and MSDN I think that Paul Thurrott actually got it (mostly) right in his predictions… 😉
