    Microsoft Windows 7 Release Date Slated For September


    Posted: 28 Feb 2009
    Microsoft just might fool us all by changing the Windows 7 release date after its fiasco with Vista. Company insiders say CEO Steve Ballmer is pressing to ship the operating system for late September.

    I'd rather wait a few months from that still to see any other possible bugs resolved before seeing the retail version out too soon and end up being a fiascle. I'm still waiting for the final SP2 for Vista to come out.

    Gee? September I'll need a few copies in time for a few birthdays around then. hhhmmm...

    It wouldn't surprise me if it's released early september. Build 7022 doesn't have too many bugs that I've noticed and it's only March 1st. Six months is plenty of time.

    Fiasco with Vista? I mean if 250+ million copies sold and 20% marketshare after so much FUD is considered a fiasco then thats some high expectations. Compared that with the Tech media's reaction when they have a collective iGasm over every .1% bump in marketshare Apple reports.

    If they gave Vista a honest chance they wouldn't be so blown away by Seven IMO.

    I ran the RC1 for Vista for a period of time and then simply waited for the 1/31/07 release about 4 months later. The only disappointment seen with Vista so far is no updated softwares for things like existing tv tuners cards.

    You see a Vista driver update while there's a list of problems seen when going to record anything while the original driver works well on 7 along with Vista as far as picture and sound. When 7 comes out I wouldn't expect too much there for 3rd party support besides the few main companies like ATI, NVidia for video and Creative already seeing 7 beta drivers for sound.

    I'm excited.
    Mind you, I'm going to wait a little bit before rushing out and getting my copy, just in case of any possible hiccups that may come with launch.

    Not that I expect any sort of disaster or anything.
    I've never purchased a fresh new OS.
    Hell, I just recently installed my own copy of Vista a couple of weeks ago. :P

    Having run Vista in RC1 form and now 7 still in beta I found the beta runs far better and should see some additional implrovements in the RC release since the 7 timeline seems to have stepped up considerably. Yet I've being Vista along with XP since that first came and simply added the two service packs SP1 and SP2 beta on without a glitch.
