    I assume when Windows 7 comes out, which is Oct 22.

    Yeah, probably when Windows 7 comes out. I'm not sure though, but it sounds reasonable to me. Perhaps a few days after but as I said I'm not sure.

    The RTM happened some time ago so surely the system builders have it now. I would expect that they would have inventory ready to sell on that day. The retailers likewise will probably receive stock before then so they can put it on their shelves on that day. I ordered mine when it was available for pre-order some time back. I don't remember the specifics of whether it will be shipped on 10-22 or shipped earlier for delivery on that date. I don't care a few days either way, and I was not excited enough to try to get it earlier through other channels.

    Yeah, I reckon. Plus, they would have a Windows 7 sticker on the new laptops. I wish I had one, I kind of need it to proclaim that my laptop is a Windows 7 laptop.

    LOL? Have any better Icons?
    Moreover, how or what kind of paper should I use to print this out? LOL.
    I think I will tear-off the Vista sticker and the other stickers on my laptop soon. XD

    Yeah, I love Windows 7 and all, but I always remove stickers in favor of the nice matte black finish
