Windows 7 RTM to be available on July 13?

by Natesh Sood on Jul 4, 2009 at 10:08 AM

Windows 7 LogoAccording to multiple sources close to Microsoft, the gold build of Windows 7 is set to be available on July 10, while the RTM, or release to manufacturing, is set to be available on July 13.  Unfortunately, Microsoft has not made any official statements, so this is just a rumor that many perceive to be true. 

Basically, the RTM is significant because it is the version of a specific software that is most similar to the official version.  It is important to remember RTM is simply for manufacturers to make sure all their hardware/peripherals are compatible with the new OS.  The day when the general public can purchase machines running Windows 7 is still October 22.  Another reason the RTM date is important is because that should be the version that contains all the major fixes to bugs.  If all goes well, the October 22 release of Windows 7 will be pretty much the same as the RTM. 

Coinciding on the same day is the Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans.  Again, July 13 may not be the date for the RTM, but many sources have confirmed it as such.  It will be interesting to see if Microsoft comes out with any official statements.
