Windows 7 Ship Date Announced [Runs on PCs, Notebooks and Netbooks, Comes With Windows Upgrade Option]

At this year’s Computex in Taipei, the guys at Microsoft have just announced the Windows 7 ship date. It’s before the end of the year, on October 22. Originally slated for a Jan 2010 roll out, Windows 7 is going to upgrade Vista and more to the story is going to feature an upgrade services (Windows Upgrade Option) to help keep PC sales pumping as the operating system’s ship date nears.

Windows 7 is supposed to be a follow up to Windows Vista which many have seen as a disappointment (low resource computer dudes?) by now. There are no technical details yet, except for the fact that it’s going to run smoothly on PCs, Notebooks and Netbooks, just as well. It’s going to be available in six verions: the Starter Edition, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, Ultimate, and Home Basic for developing markets.

Available just in time for the holiday season, we don’t have a price for Windows 7 yet.
