Windows 7 Launch Day!

Published on October 22, 2009 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

Today is the big day! Around the world people are either going to pickup, or waiting for the delivery person to bring theirs to the door. I have talked to many people this morning, and a bunch have received their packages early.

Apparently, there are some big lines in London this morning.

If you are on Twitter, you can follow many of the events today as well at http://twitter.com/mswindows

If you got your Windows 7 box today, post a quick pic and let us know!

That's rather interesting. I thought that with the 'net and other online retailers that there would be no lines (unlike Win95's launch). Has anyone else had to dash out to get this? Who ordered online and is expecting delivery?

I pre-orderd online from Amazon, the charge went through today so I guess I will get it next week.

It's no good waiting for your disc being delivered in the UK, the postal workers are on strike tomorrow

Pre-ordered online back in July and expected it would be arriving today or tomorrow but turns out they say the delivery date is beginning of next week.

I'll have mine tomorrow as it was pre-ordered and have to pick it up at UPS. I'm surprised at the lines as well, good to see though as it is worth using this OS unless your PC can't handle it.

The retailers on Tottenham Court here in central London didn't look crowded at all... must have been early in the morning. I did like all the pretty Win 7 cases in the windows though.
