  I think it comes out in Octoberish.. so probably shortly after that.

  I received this message from Microsoft today having been testing 7 for a while:

  We’re very happy to tell you that we’ve hit the last big milestone on the way to Windows 7: Release to Manufacturing. We’re packaging copies and manufacturers are putting it on new PCs. On October 22, you’ll be able to get the final shipping product. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done; you helped make this an operating system we’re all going to enjoy.

  Well you already missed the beta download, the permanent release is set for October 22nd. But most laptop companies probably won’t be using it right away. So I’d say somewhere around Christmas time.

  In the mean time why not try out one of the Linux distros instead? Download from one of the sites here,

  I use one called ArtistX 0.7 which is miles better than any Windows system
  and it was built this year.

  There’s already a free upgrade system right now for most new computers purchased with Vista Home Premium and above. Confirm eligibility before purchasing.

  Otherwise the official release date is October 22, and that’s the earliest you might start to find things with Windows 7 pre-installed.
