Windows 7: Christmas Gift or Halloween Trick

Microsoft has announced that Windows 7, the latest and greatest new version of its computer operating system, will go on sale October 22. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (not billed as One of America's Great Newspapers) noted that Windows 7 would be out "for holiday." We're guessing that they mean Christmas, the HWMNBN (Holiday Which Must Not Be Named.) But With a release date of October 22, it may be just in time to be this year's biggest Halloween trick.

Microsoft also didn't say how much Windows 7 will cost. Looks like an all-around bad Christmas Winter Holiday season is on the way.
