The official release of Windows 7 is scheduled for October 22
Today, Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 7 should appear on store shelves on October 22. Thus, the information of the head of Acer is fully confirmed.
To be in time, Microsoft must complete work on the operating system in the middle or end of next month. This was announced by Bill Vegte, senior vice president of the company, in an interview today. “The feedback received from RC testers is extremely positive,” said Vegte. This information was confirmed by Steve Guggenheimer, corporate vice president of OEM, at Computex 2009.
In the same interview, Phil McKini (Phil McKinney), technical director of the Computer Unit at HP, said he was completely satisfied with the date assigned by Microsoft. “Preparations for release are well underway,” McKeanie said. “The quality of the code is simply outstanding.”
The representative of Microsoft, without going into details, also confirmed that the company intends to offer some kind of "guarantee" to users who bought a computer with Vista pre-installed on the eve of the release of Windows 7, for a free upgrade or upgrade at a discount to the new OS. As in the case of previous releases, the cost of the update will depend entirely on the specific computer manufacturer, although Vegte said that the program will only accept Vista Home Premium and the more expensive editions of Windows Vista.

The express update program will start a little later, with Vegte hinting that the company is considering the possibility of providing an upgrade discount to existing Windows Vista users.
