http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/02/22/windows-7-rc-may-release-on-april-10-2009/
There are now all kind of rumors and speculations on when the next update after Windows 7 Beta will be officially released. Microsoft has made know that the update will be Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate) version. So far, there is only leaked Windows 7 Build 7022 comes after the official release of Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 been released in early January.
Windows 7 RC1 has been previously speculated to be released on April 2009. After the false news that claimed Windows 7 RC 1 may be available as early as February 2009 in the form of build 7048, Neowin.net has reported that Windows 7 RC has set its official release date to April 10, 2009.
This is the first time that a specific date been floated as the possible release date for Windows 7 RC build. It’s expected that the release date to stay if there are no significant problems or bugs been discovered on Windows 7 code over the next few weeks. The Windows 7 RC will be made available broadly to general public all over the world. However, selected testers may get a hand on the RC build or close-to-RC build prior to the general release.

is Windows 7 worth the upgrade from windows vista? I hope it is, but wonder why in Windows 7, Microsoft got rid of the quick launch bar like the one vista and older windows had? I wish you could use it :P

It is a long video, but worth watching.

Guess that's one way to get traffic to your site; spread rumors. I have an extremely hard time believing that Microsoft would be even close to being able to release Windows 7 on April 10th. If it's even going to be in 2009 it's going to be towards the end of the year like in November.

Whose site are we talking about here?

The www.mydigitallife.info site

The site is talking about Release Candidate 1, not the final version.
...and the original article comes from http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/02/20/exclusive-windows-7-rc-set-for-april-10th-2009

And how many of these?

It looks like three out of five report it as a real thing, not a rumor.

True it is RC1 but as far as I understand a release candidate, it's a version that's in a code state that's ready to be released with likely no additional updates to the code. I guess I should of been clearer, because you're right it's not an announcement of being a gold release so it's not as if they're releasing it in April. I still have a hard time believing that RC1 will even be ready on April 10th unless Microsoft plans on have dozens of release candidates.
In any case it's all rumors, which I've never been a fan of when it comes to software, especially Microsoft Software. :)

Well, we'll see in 6 weeks.

Indeed. :)
-
We can start betting right now ;D
-
Hmm ok what's the stakes. :)
-
I'll bet all computeruler's gift certificates, he owes me :)
-
Hmm ok ;) and I guess if it is released on April 10th I'll grant you a new custom forum title, something like "Microsoft psychic" or maybe "Miss Cleo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3ABE3wvxzA)" :P
-
I'd like to avoid any "Micro$oft" wording in my title, but "Mr. Cleo" will work ;D
-
Heh. Ok now I'm almost hoping you'll win. :)
-
How bout "The Broninator".....
;D
-
or...
Bicycle repairman!
-
Why the heck Bicycle repairman!?
Ok now I'm almost hoping you'll win
I'll be very proud bearer of "Mr. Cleo" title ;D

I've added "Windows 7 RC1" to the Calendar events so we don't forget this prophecy. Because I know I'll probably forget about this post by then. ;D

http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/06/24/Microsoft_VP_confirms_Windows_7_ship_date_January_2010_1.html
This is older post but it said "Microsoft VP" so i am going to trust Hauary 2010 is the date to stick on the calendar.
-
Interesting article m_260, if this is the current schedule (which seems more reasonable) Mr. Cleo could be wrong about when RC1 is going to hit, since it could be pushed back some more. But it is still a Microsoft release date which I've learned to never trust. :)
-
31 more days :)
-
If it's BETA2 than Nathan he loses...correct ? ?
-
Yeah if it hits RC1 then Broni wins.
-
Preparing my bank account for some fresh inflow :)

are you able to upgrade from win7 RC to win7 RTM?I know you couldn't upgrade from win7 beta to win7 RTM.
Now, how is win7 compared to win vista in terms of memory usage? Win7 task bar looks good but why did microsoft get rid of quick launch toolbar that vista had? Couldn't they keep it on if user wanted it? I seem to like that better than what win7 has with the quick luaunch and the program list on taskbar combined.

10 of April....I guess, I lost.
It looks like May is more probable:

I still say this is all speculation, I also *love* how that Tomshardware article starts with saying someone at Microsoft got this wrong. Not sure how speculation is Microsoft's fault. Until the date is actually printed and left on a Microsoft site I'm still not buying any of these early dates. :)
