All,

how you can read on the TechNet's applet on the left in my blog,

Windows 7 will be available in time for the holiday season. The Windows team announced today on the Windows Blog that Windows 7 will be in stores beginning October 22nd.

Another important date: The Windows team anticipates RTM code for Windows 7 in the second half of July, and RTM code for Windows Server 2008 R2 available in this time frame as well.
