It's official -- Microsoft will ship Windows 7 in time for the holiday sales season.

That was the main announcement made by Microsoft officials at the opening keynote of the company's main developer event -- TechEd 2009 in Los Angeles.

"We're doing so well with the RC "Release Candidate" that we've started logo testing," Bill Veghte, senior vice president of Windows, told attendees at the conference. Microsoft began public testing of the RC, which is the final testing phase for Windows 7, last week.
