Windows 7 Will Ship Oct. 22

[soumya]

Microsoft will ship Windows 7 to customers worldwide on Oct. 22, the company said Tuesday.

At the same time the company will offer an upgrade service called the Windows Upgrade Option to current Windows users, Microsoft said. More details about that program will be revealed during a keynote by Microsoft Corporate Vice President Steve Guggenheimer at Computex in Taipei Wednesday. The Windows Blog also discussed it today.

Microsoft previously said it would release both the consumer and business versions of Windows 7 in time for the year-end holiday shopping season. A release candidate of the OS already has been distributed through Microsoft's update service and has gotten generally positive reviews by users.
