According to Acer's Bobby Wtatkins, the managing director of Acer UK, Microsoft's new operating system Windows 7 is scheduled to ship October 24th of this year. This confirms earlier reports that we've heard stating that Windows 7 would ship ahead of the 2010 target date that Microsoft originally said.

This is the first 'real date' that we've seen that wasn't speculation and as we get closer to this fall I'm sure it won't be the last.
