Microsoft emphasized locked-in release dates for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and indicated that those consumers purchasing a system with Windows Vista will have the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 as part of the original deal. Microsoft is betting that Windows 7 will be the substantial hit it needs to reverse its fortunes in a slumping economy.


Microsoft announced June 3 that customers purchasing a system with its Windows Vista operating system will have the ability to upgrade to Windows 7 when the latter is released on Oct. 22. In addition, Microsoft also announced that Windows Server 2008 R2 will be widely available at the same time as Windows 7.
