Feb 21st, 2009

Since the Beta release of Windows 7, Internet is filled up with dates of releases of Windows 7 all stamped as Rumours a trusted Source at from Microsoft has informed Neowin that the official release date is set for April 10, 2009


The Windows 7 RC is right on schedule with development, and if there are no significant problems over the next few weeks the April 10, 2009 release date will remain in tact. Releasing the Windows 7 Beta was  a fairly good option under MSDN as there have been over 500,000 suggestions since the public launch of the Windows 7 Beta. So its probably MSDN subscribers would be the first one to receive the RC download.
