It might feel a little too "inside baseball" to excite general consumers, but the moment for which potential Windows 7 customers, tech aficionados, and financial analysts have been waiting impatiently has finally arrived.

Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft's Windows Division, announced in a blog post that Windows 7 has reached its Release to Manufacturing milestone.

"Today marks an important milestone in the Windows 7 project. The Windows 7 team is proud to share with you that a short while ago we have started to release Windows 7 to PC OEM and manufacturing partners," he wrote in a blog post.
