Many posts start with a thank you and I want to start this post with an extra special thank you on behalf of the entire Windows team for all the installs and usage we are seeing of the Windows 7 Beta. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had millions of installations of Windows 7 from which we are receiving telemetry, which is simply incredible. And from those who click on the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Send Feedback\u00e2\u20ac\u009d button we are receiving detailed bug reports and of course many suggestions. There is simply no way we could move from Beta through Final Release of Windows 7 without this type of breadth coverage and engagement from you in the development cycle. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been such an incredible response, with many folks even blogging about how they have moved to using Windows 7 Beta on all their machines and have been super happy. The question we get most often is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153if the Beta expires in August what will I do\u00e2\u20ac\u201dI don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to return to my old <\/i>[sic] operating system.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d For a Beta release, that is quite a complement and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re very <\/em>appreciative of such a kind response.<\/p>\n

This post is about the path from where we are today, Beta, to our RTM (Release To Manufacturing), building on the discussion of this topic that started at the PDC. This post is in no way an announcement of a ship date, change in plans, or change in our previously described process, but rather it provides additional detail and a forward looking view of the path to RTM and General Availability.<\/i> The motivation for this, in addition to the high level of interest in Windows 7, is that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re now seeing how releasing Windows is not something that Microsoft does \u00e2\u20ac\u0153solo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, but rather is something that we do as one part of the overall PC ecosystem. Obviously we have a big responsibility to do our part, one we take very seriously of course. The last stages of a Windows release are a partnership across the entire ecosystem working to make sure that the incredible variety of choices you have for PCs, software, and peripherals work together to bring you a complete and satisfying Windows 7 experience. <\/p>\n
