Windows 7 Official Release Date

Windows 7 was officially released today (22nd Oct 2009), and there are high hopes for this OS after the poor debut of Vista.

Toms Hardware have a huge Windows 7 Hardware roundup here:

The launch of a new operating system always means new hardware—lots of it—even if the operating system’s requirements aren’t a whole lot more demanding than the previous OS. In this case, Windows 7’s official debut on October 22 will usher in dozens of new laptops and desktops that aren’t that different—internally—from those you could buy in early October. Here are Microsoft’s Windows 7 system requirements:


· 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

· 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

· 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

· DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

I was wondering if the windows 7 forum is a part of the velocity reviews or is it an autonomous blogosphere?
