There has been some confusion lately about the release date of Microsoft’s upcoming operating system Windows 7. Some sources claimed that 2010 was finally announced as the official release data while others rebuked that story saying that Microsoft did not yet make such an announcement.

It turned out that the 2010 - and 2009 - release dates were based on interpretations or Microsoft press releases, especially the phrase “Development is scoped to three years” caused some confusion. Some sources simply added three years to the release of Windows Vista and assumed that this would be the official Windows 7 release date.

One should understand that the production phase does not end with development. There is much more to it like marketing, producing enough units, worldwide shipping, translations and much more that will probably extend the period quite a bit.

It should also be noted that three years can mean anything from 1095 days to 1459 days which is just one day short of four years. To conclude the article; There is no official Windows 7 release data yet and it is very likely that there will be none anytime soon.
