    Windows 7 RTM Released !

    Its arrived .. Windows 7 RTM - this is the final release of Windows 7.
     
    The last release, build 7100 was known as the Release Candidate i.e. Windows 7 RC.  Before this release we were given the beta. This was build 7000.  Now the RTM has been signed off by Steven Sinofsky for Release To Manufacturing (RTM).  We will see this roll out to the public around October 22nd.  All new Windows PC's being sold from October 22nd should be shipped with Windows 7. Well if they aren't, they should be Windows 7 ready.
     
    Windows 7 should be a vast improvement on it's predecessor Windows Vista. Anyone who has used Windows Vista will be happy to see the opportunity of moving off that operating system and move to the more improved Windows 7.
     
    Windows 7 early codename was Blackcomb, which was then renamed to Vienna in early 2006, and again to Windows 7 in 2007. Then in 2008, we heard that Windows 7 would also become the official name of the operating system
