Today at Computex, the largest computer exhibition in Asia taking place in Taiwan, Steve Guggenheimer, the corporate vice president of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Division announced both the RTM and the general availability dates for Windows 7.
According to the announcement, Windows 7 will be in stores for the holidays, beginning October 22nd, 2009. In order for this to happen, the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) will be made available to Microsoft partners in the last two weeks of July.
As customers purchase new PCs over the summer and onwards, they will be given the option to participate in the Windows 7 Upgrade Option program. This will be made available to anyone buying a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium and above. At the time of purchase, the PC will run Vista, but when Windows 7 becomes publicly available, they will be given the option to upgrade for either a low cost or free, depending on the manufacturer.

Has anyone had a problem with their DVD RW not working after installing the Win 7 RC? Mine starts to work but then it just disappears from Windows completely, it is even gone from Device Manager. I tried deleting the upper and lower filters but when I restart I am forced to do a system restore, this works until I try to burn again. It reads cd's and DVD's fine, it just doesn't like to burn. I went to Windows Bugs and they don't have much there.
I have an Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560A ATA
Lenovo Y410
Windows 32 bit
Windows 7 RC with all latest updates installed.
Redownloaded drivers and installed
Thanks,

^^ Try to remove the drive from your system and then attach it again. It might help.
