Microsoft has confirmed the release date for its brand new operating system Windows 7 as 22nd October 2009.
This will be the first day that consumers will be able to get hold of a copy.
System requirements
Windows 7 will have ‘comparable system requirements’ to Vista (Microsoft’s most recent operating system) which means that if your PC’s capable of running Vista it should also run the new version without any difficulty.
It’s widely hoped that Windows 7 will be a significant improvement on Vista - especially in the area of usability as well as simplified of security measures which have caused a great deal of frustration for many users.
Performance
Testers of Windows 7 have reported that it runs faster than Vista, particularly in terms of start-up and shutdown.
The reality check bit…
So if Windows 7 is available from October this year, I wonder what odds the bookies will be offering on SP1 being available by the following Easter?

Microsoft have done the right thing with Windows 7, releasing the beta and release candidate publically was a brilliant idea and has enabled them to get some penetration before the product is even released.
Vista was a poor product although SP2 improved it a lot and is very close to Windows 7 (no sidebar, better performance) but Windows 7 is way ahead of Vista despite the cosmetic similarities
For all Apples bashing at the WWDC I could never see them releasing a public beta or release candidate of their next OS.
