Confirmed Date of Expected Windows 7 RTM

Before I say anything else, I will say that this informtion is based on an internal document from a close Microsoft Partner. This date has been consistent for 2 months. Of course, if there are any sort of show stoppers, this date is subject to change, and we will be sure to nofity you if there are any changes.

June 30th will be the date the code for windows 7 will be signed off and released to manufacturing. This news comes from one of Microsoft's very close partners and we here at Win7Vista are the first to provide it to you. Attached below is a graphic direct from this partner (with some modifications so we don't reveal the source, as this is obviously very confidential information). This graphic also reveals that Windows 7 will enter a code frozen RTM escrow on June 7th.

You may notice it lists the RC date as April 23. This is in fact the day the code for RC was signed off, 2 days later than it was built. We have no way of telling you the exact date the RTM willl be built, but we expect it to be 1-2 days before the sign off date of June 30. This date comes as no surprise as Microsoft tends to have a habit of signing off RTMs on the last day of the month.
