Microsoft will skip a second Release Candidate for Windows 7 as it steams towards an RTM date in August ahead of an October launch.
Microsoft hasn’t named the date for Windows 7 but it’s closing in on the month. The latest update to the Engineering Windows 7 blog helmed by senior Windows veeps Steve Sinofsky and Jon De Vaan indicates the next-gen OS will be signed off in August, with copies flying out to PC builders and DVD duplication centres in time for an October launch.
