We’ve received word from a trusted source close to GeekSmack that Windows 7 will be on TechNet/MSDN before the end of the month, so those of us with a premium TechNet/MSDN account will be able to get the official RTM build about 2 months ahead of when Windows 7 will hit store shelves on October 22nd.
Microsoft is currently hard at work on getting that RTM build out to the world, and to ensure a smooth release, they’re trying to locate and remove any serious show-stopper bugs.
