Microsoft rolled out its first public beta version of Windows 7 on Jan. 9 after CEO Steve Ballmer hyped up the product during a CES keynote speech. Clearly there was a lot of interest for the newest PC operating system. Microsoft made Windows 7 available for download to the first 2.5 million users, and the company's servers had trouble keeping up with the demand in the first couple days.

Microsoft execs have remained vague on when Windows 7 will ship for this holiday season and have warned PC makers that the official launch could be in early 2010. ZDNet blogger Ed Bott puts an aggressive July 2009 time frame for the new OS because the Windows 7 beta version expires on August 1, 2009.

Prediction: Microsoft will announce an official release date for Windows 7 between now and the opening keynote of the Microsoft MIX09 conference on March 18, 2009. For this prediction to be judged a success, MSFT must state that the Windows 7 release be no later than March 31, 2010.
