The Register publishes Win 10 release date article

Microsoft surprised lots of people recently when the company announced it was aiming for a summer launch with the new Windows 10 operating system. But thanks to a slip-up from AMD CEO’s we now have an even clearer timeline for the launch.

While “summer” can be seen as a long time range with vaguely defined limits, offering Microsoft numerous chances to push the launch of the OS later in the year, we now have a much more precise launch window and its closer than many expected. According to AMD’s CEO Microsoft is looking to launch Windows 10 at the end of July.

Would the launch date already be set in stone. I would think such problems as with the Lumina phones could cause some delays. Of course the builds we are seeing are so far behind and so buggy it is hard to imagine Microsoft is anywhere close to a release.

Yes,, the drop dead date has been already set. MS, like other software companies, can't have a sliding date.. it's set in stone. Trust me on this.. having been in IT for over 20 years I know what a drop dead date entails.

There is probably some wiggle room at this point, 3 months out... Also, it's not clear what "ship" Means here.. RTM? Or actual release? Typically, MS needs a couple of months to get disks printed, boxed, and shipped to stores...

If launch == RTM then my lotto entry is looking real good

What bugs are you talking about. . .That is nothing more then a broad statement about nothing. . .

remember MS are in the 10100's builds no one has seen them they should be better than the builds we have seen like 10056

The Reg as published an article re: Windows 10 ship date:

Loose lips slip when Windows 10 ships: 'End of July' says AMD CEO

AMD's chief exec Lisa Su may have inadvertently narrowed down the shipping date of Microsoft's Windows 10 in a conference call with financial analysts.

"What we also are factoring in is, you know, with the Windows 10 launch at the end of July, we are watching sort of the impact of that on the back-to-school season, and expect that it might have a bit of a delay to the normal back-to-school season inventory build-up," Su said.

There are definitely parts that are unfinished, but I wouldn't call it buggy; in fact it amazingly stable considering. If it's buggy for you, it's likely an issue with your system not Win 10.

How in the world did the press know about the conference call and their details? I though those conversation are suppose to be private.
