Microsoft has just confirmed when their next Operating System Windows 7 will be released in time for the holiday 2009 season. This just comes one day after we urged Microsoft to reveal the Windows 7 release date.
A commitment from Microsoft says that Windows 7 will definitely be in stores in time for the key holiday retail season. This is a huge relief for Microsoft, PC manufacturers, and retail partners.
"We're tracking well to deliver Windows 7 in time for holiday availability based on the groundswell of feedback we received from the partner ecosystem, customers and through our own internal testing from pre-Beta to now,"
Bill Veghte, senior vice president for Windows, said in a statement. He added that:
"will not ship the product...until it meets our quality bar."
Microsoft is hoping that with Windows 7 it will restore Microsoft’s pre-Vista image.
Windows generates one third of Microsoft's $60 billion in annual sales and is on more than 90% of the world's personal computers, is the company's most important product.It is key that Microsoft perfects the launch of Windows 7, if they wish to continue to lead the PC market.
