Microsoft has announced that Windows 7 will be released no later than January 2010, although it is expected that it may be out well before that. The eagerly awaited OS is awaited by many after a very successful beta launch conducted in January of this year. ITPro were the ones who confirmed this news from Microsoft. According to the article at ITPro, Laurence Painell, Windows OEM and WGA marketing manager stated the following to ITPro:

“We made a promise that we would release Windows 7 no later than three years after Vista. This gives us until January 2010 and we are confident it will be released by then, if not earlier.”

Windows 7 Release Candidate version is  rumored to be out by next month which would mean that we would be getting closer to the final Windows 7 release and if that is the case than Windows 7 should be out before the end of the year.
