Windows 7: The "Wow" Starts Oct. 22
Microsoft (MSFT) launched Windows Vista in New York City on Jan. 30, 2007. And it plans to launch Windows 7 there as well. According to invitations distributed today, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will preside over an event celebrating the availability and launch of Windows 7 on Oct. 22. No word yet on where the event is to be held or what it will entail, presumably the usual bloviating and partner accolades.
