Good news fellow geeks; Microsoft delivers new wave of technologies to help businesses thrive in today’s Economy, the most awaited Microsoft Windows 7. Finally been given a more precise release date for Windows 7, the next operating system come from Microsoft. Word comes from a PressPass article from Microsoft website, and while it may be vague, it’s official still.

Bill Veghte, the senior vice president of the Windows Business at Microsoft, stated, “With early RC testing and extensive partner feedback we’ve received, Windows 7 is tracking well for holiday availability.” The same with the Acer’s prediction (or maybe more that) that Microsoft Windows 7 will hit shelves October 23rd, but it was pretty widely accepted that we’ll see the new operating system (OS) by the end of the year anyway. Who knows, but it very well could be.

Below paragraph from Microsoft website;

LOS ANGELES — May 11, 2009 — Microsoft Tech•Ed North America 2009 kicked off today with announcements of new technologies that enable IT professionals and developers to help their organizations save money and improve efficiencies during difficult economic times.
