Microsoft had recently posted a press release to their website. The press release is filled with information about Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) is currently available, and the Windows Server 2008 R2 RC is available today. Microsoft is pushing Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 "as an ideal example of delivering business efficiencies and cost savings through technology." They claim that combining Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will allow businesses to improve efficiency and save money, two things businesses want with today's economy. However, many companies don't have the money and/or resources to upgrade to the new operating systems.

A brief note at the beginning of the press release mentions that both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will be available in time for the holidays. Let's hope that Microsoft doesn't rush the release simply to have the operating systems available in time for the holidays.
