We already knew that Windows 7 RTM (Release to Manufacturing) has been all dressed up which means that’s it’s almost ready to launch on October 22. What we didn’t know was that independent software and hardware vendors, MSDN-subscribed developers and IT Professionals are going to be allowed to download Windows 7 RTM from Microsoft Connect or MSDN on August 6th.
Other than these lucky guys, Microsoft Partner Program Gold/Certified Members will also get their hands on Windows 7 via the Microsoft Partner Network portal starting from August 16th. Last but not the least, Action Pack Subscribers will get to download on August 23rd. MSFT have also added that only the English version of the software will be ready to download on the forementioned dates, and mentioned that the remaining languages will become available from October 1st.
Microsoft has also been kind enough to announce that no matter what reasons you have to still work on Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate), those annoying reboots are not to be expected before March 1st, 2010, when the software fully expires. So there’s enough time to upgrade if you like the way it runs on your machine.
