The birth of the final code of Windows 7 has taken place. Just minutes ago, Windows 7 has officially been Released To Manufacturing, meaning that the final build has been done. No more changes will be made, this is the one you’ll be able to buy from October 22nd in stores everywhere. The official announcement on the Windows Team blog can be read here.
MSDN and TechNet subscribers will have access to the final build as early as August 6th, so don’t start F5’ing the download site just yet, you have a few days left to warm up that download engine!
