Windows 7 (and also Windows Server 2008 R2) goes RTM (Release to Manufacturing). This means the last version/code is locked in and the product will be available on the shelves shortly.
Window 7 will launch at retail on October 22, 2009 but current Windows Volume License customers, MSDN subscribers, and TechNet subscribers will have early access to Windows 7 and also Windows Server 2008 R2 in the coming weeks (around 6th August – based on Windows 7 team blog). I hope I can get the Windows 7 RTM from Microsoft around 6th August too.

Only time will tell whether it will flop like Vista did.
I am actually excited about it coming out. I bought a new computer(had a friend build me one, it is crazy) and I have Windows 7 waiting for me. This will be the first time I get a piece of Tech that is new, right from the start. without waiting for the price to come down,etc..etc..I look forward to reading your review.
Thanks, Tim. I’ll chase the guy that promised to give me Windows 7 licensed key
Great news.
I have also heard that Windows 7 RTM version is leaked via torrents.
