Microsoft launched its much awaited operating system, Windows 7 on 22nd October, 2009!
The international software giant, which holds 90% of the personal computers, has been receiving nice reviews for its new OS, since the aspects and features of Windows 7 have been made public. This launch is expected to strengthen Microsoft’s presence.
“It’s the first really significant release of Windows in a decade,” analyst Brendan Barnicle of Pacific Crest Securities said Television. “Given the missteps around Vista, people really questioned Microsoft’s relevancy in the technology space. So this is a critical first step for Microsoft regaining that credibility.”
Windows 7 is flaunted to be faster as well as less cluttered and comes with touch-screen features. Windows 7 has been launched three years after the launch of Vista, which is really an irritation for all those who use it.
If you have been looking to switch your operating system then this the time, the full version of Windows 7 Professional is $299, with upgrades going for $199. Windows 7 Ultimate is priced at $319, with the upgrade version at $219. The full version of Windows 7 Home Premium is priced at $199, with an upgrade from Vista or XP costing $119. Copies of Windows 7 will be available in retail stores today, and many PC makers are now offering systems with Microsoft’s new OS preinstalled.

Microsoft Corp said on Friday a version of its long awaited Windows 7 operating system will be made available from next week.
The version, known as a ‘release candidate‘, or RC, essentially means the world’s largest software company is in the final stages of completing the operating system, the successor to the unpopular Windows Vista.
Microsoft said the RC will be available for download by program developers and IT professionals subscribing to the MSDN and TechNet networks on April 30 and available more broadly on May 5.
The company has still not said when the finished version would begin to be installed on PCs or available to buy in shops, but the company’s chief financial officer said on Thursday it could be as early as July.
That would allow Microsoft to capitalize on back-to-school sales and set it up for a strong holiday shopping season.
Windows 7, which has been getting good reviews in limited public tests over the last few months, is much cleaner looking and features an array of new touch-screen functions. Microsoft says it will also interact better with digital cameras and music players.

Windows 7 Enterprise edition - Offers advanced data protection, lower cost compliance and IT tools to streamline PC management and help save costs, while enabling access to information from anywhere for business users.

Microsoft announced Friday night that computer enthusiasts will have a while longer to get their hands on the beta version of Windows 7.
Microsoft said that the test version of the operating system will be available for download through Feb. 10. Previously, Microsoft had said that the OS would only be open through late this month.
“We are at a point where we have more than enough beta testers and feedback coming in to meet our engineering needs, so we are beginning to plan the end of general availability for Windows 7 Beta,” Microsoft’s Brandon LeBlanc said in the blog posting. “Because enthusiasm continues to be so high for the Windows 7 Beta and we don’t want anyone to miss out we will keep the Beta downloads open through February 10th.”
Those who start the download process before Feb. 10 will have until Feb. 12 to finish the task.
The deadline applies to the general public, while members of Microsoft’s TechNet and MSDN developer programs will continue to have access to the code, LeBlanc said.
CEO Steve Ballmer announced the beta of Windows 7 during his speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Jan 7. After a slight hiccup, Microsoft made the code available on Jan. 10.
