Windows 7 RTM is scheduled on 13th July, 2009
According to the neowin, Windows 7 RTM (Release to Manufacturing) will be scheduled on 13th July, 2009. This means the code will be finalized and Microsoft will give the green light to it’s manufacturers. This is great news all around for Windows 7 users.
Now my waiting will be passed in next 10 days. No more beta testing, or release candidates. No more five leaked builds a week. No more bi-hourly shutdowns and expiration dates; it will be the real deal – as long as there are not any major problems or setbacks. But, Microsoft should have had plenty of time to work out all the kinks and bugs. So, I expect them to keep to the schedule.
RTM and GA (General Availability) are two totally different phases. RTM is typically the final build before Windows 7 hits general availability later this year. RTM is provided to manufacturers so they can work out any bugs with hardware devices. General availability is scheduled to launch on October 22. RTM does mean that those with subscriptions to TechNet, MSDN, etc will be getting the RTM build on July 13th.
