Is Windows 7 Going out Big Bang on October?

All reviews point to Microsoft Windows 7 being a superior product than Windows Vista which could bring Microsoft back into it’s dominant and mind blowing Windows sales.
The quality of Windows 7 includes the end user experience where error message provides a better feel to the previous experience on Windows Vista and XP.
Given that the baseline of Windows Vista is Windows 7, the drivers and application support should be at par with Windows Vista. Microsoft has not only included support for the Vista baseline but have already indicated that applications from Windows XP are supported as well.
Windows 7 has better customization features particularly around the user access control that should allow users to control the amount of security restrictions and messages they get.
Simply put, Windows 7 is far superior that Windows Vista. Is Microsoft going on a big bang party on October? I don’t think so. Consumers would buy PCs but I still feel netbooks are going to power the holiday sales loaded with XP, Linux or Android. Enterprises would not be creating budgets on migrating to Windows 7 anytime soon. There are a lot more things organizations should focus on like Enterprise Collaboration, Business Intelligence, etc.
Is Microsoft going out strong in October? Not until the economy has gotten back to it’s feet, when Windows XP officially retires and the netbooks market slows down.
