I think I read somewhere saying it's coming out July? Can't remember where... Probably lifehacker or gizmodo.

July 09???!!!!! thanks kai, you've made me happy
im typing this from the beta now :P i love it heh

Just my impression:

Microsoft will not say anything of course so we can all speculate.

I didn't expect a RC before July so the RC is 3 months early in my scenario.

I'd say six months from the RC which would be October.

I am sure they will do all they can to get it out before the holiday season.

As to price I'd think it would be similar to Vista.

Woa dude don't get too happy yet! Like I said it's probably a mistake. I'm doubting what I say more and more as I can't seem to remember where I read that nor what it said specifically.

oh im ok with getting happy on things which arent true!!
i do it all the time heh

i might get it for xmas then

I know that I'll be getting it... The Geek in me is salivating. I've been playing with the Beta on a VM and have grown to love this new OS. I'm getting the same feeling as I got when I went from Win98se to WinXP Pro.

good man
