Windows 7 ships Oct. 22
Microsoft's Windows 7 will go into general commercial availability on Oct. 22, according to a Microsoft spokeswoman. The company did not announce prices for the several versions it plans, but said it will introduce a program -- a “Tech Guarantee” or Windows Upgrade Option -- that enables people who buy current PCs with Vista to get a free upgrade to the new Windows 7 software when it becomes available. — CAM
