Windows 7 Release Date : 23rd Oct,2009 - Confirms Acer

While many are speculating about Windows 7 dates, and blogs.zdnet expected it to be on July, Acer has confirmed that Windows 7 will be available pre-loaded on their new all-in-one Z5600 PC from the 23 October 2009. It actually contradicts Microsoft’s vague prediction that it will come around January,2010.

PocketLint spoke to Acer’s managing director in UK and lemme quote them for you

Acer also confirmed to us that any Vista-based models purchased in the 30 days prior to this date will be eligible for Microsoft’s free upgrade programme.

“23rd October is the date the Windows 7 will be available. There is a 30 day upgrade time so that customers don’t wait to buy a new computer, so if you buy during that 30 day period, you’ll get a free upgrade to Windows 7″, Bobby Watkins, Acer’s UK MD told Pocket-lint.

To tell you hte truth, I am a bit apprehensive about the availability of Windows 7 because the date too specific. Anyway, sooner the better. We can’t wait to put our hands on the officially released final version. So far so good Microsoft.

[p.s. - The specific model from Acer Z5600 is particularly designed for Windows 7]
