Microsoft plans major Windows 7 announcement
InformationWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft will make "major new announcements" relating to its forthcoming Windows 7 operating system when it launches the Release Candidate of the OS, according to a British technology news site.
Microsoft Windows OEM manager Laurence Painell told PC Pro that the company plans a "couple of additional, quite major announcements" at the time it releases Windows 7 RC. The Release Candidate will likely ship in May, though Microsoft has yet to formally confirm a date.
One possibility is that Microsoft may announce a release date for the final version of Windows 7 at the same time it ships the Release Candidate.
