images/news/windows7.jpgThe software maker is preparing to disclose significant news about its next operating system.

Microsoft will make "major new announcements" relating to its forthcoming Windows 7 operating system when it launches the Release Candidate of the OS, according to a British technology news site.

Microsoft Windows OEM manager Laurence Painell told PC Pro that the company plans a "couple of additional, quite major announcements" at the time it releases Windows 7 RC. The Release Candidate will likely ship in May, though Microsoft has yet to formally confirm a date.

Painell did not provide further details about the announcements.

One possibility is that Microsoft may announce a release date for the final version of Windows 7 at the same time it ships the Release Candidate.

Well, that would be right about on time.
The last couple releases were pretty polished anyway- some thought they were going to be the RC.
I'm very happy with 7 and am glad to see that they will not have the same timing problem with their final release that they had with Vista.
