NZ, Australia to get Win7 first
The first retail sales of Windows 7 will take place in New Zealand and Australia on 22 October, Microsoft confirmed this week.
"Our understanding at this time is that the availability of Windows 7 will 'follow the sun' on Thursday October 22," a Microsoft spokesperson said late yesterday. "As such, we're excited that the first retail sales globally of Windows 7 will take place in New Zealand and Australia as we cross the dateline ahead of other markets."
