We have been hearing rumors about the Windows 7′s general availability date for quite some time now. Microsoft has finally hinted about the general availability of the much anticipated Windows 7 operating system. At Microsoft TechEd North America 2009, Bill Veghte announced that Windows 7 will be available in time for the holiday season 2009.

Windows 7′s general availability date on Acer machine was revealed by Acer’s UK MD last week. However, Microsoft has not given any information about the exact release date (October 23?) of Windows 7.

"A holiday release is accomplishable," Microsoft Senior Vice President Bill Veghte said Monday. With this statement, it’s pretty clear that Windows 7′s general availability will fall between October and November.

Earlier, Microsoft had stated that Windows would be available in early 2010, three years after the release of Windows Vista.
