Microsoft Windows 7 available in October
MICROSOFT'S new-generation personal computer operating system, Windows 7, will be available in October the software giant said on Tuesday. "Windows 7 will be available on October 22," Microsoft said in a brief statement which provided no further details.
Microsoft had said last month that Windows 7, which replaces the much maligned Vista, would be available to customers in time for the holiday shopping season and the October release date is ahead of expectations.
Windows operating systems are used in about 90 per cent of the world's computers, according to industry figures. Microsoft released a nearly final version of Window 7 known as Windows 7 Release Candidate last month and invited feedback from the public in a test of the operating system's capabilities.
