Acer Will Release Win 7 on October 23, 2009

Should you be worried about the July 1, 2010 "drop dead" date for Windows 7 RC, which was released today? Not according to Acer. In an interview with Pocket-Lint's Chris Hall, Bobby Watkins, Acer UK's Marketing Director, says that October 23, 2009 will be the day that Windows 7 will be available.Believable?
One comment from a US-based reader points out that October 23
On the other hand, the date falls comfortably before the holiday season (Microsoft missed the 2006 holiday season with Windows Vista). At any rate, Microsoft's hedging its bets: while the Windows 7 beta starts shutting down on July 1 2010 and quits completely on August 1 2010, Windows 7 RC will work well after the date Acer's claiming for RTM availability. (And, by the way, if you follow Will Smith's Twitter stream, you could have gotten your copy last night).
ATI needs to come out with a TV card driver for 7. I've had the same card I have now since about a week after I baught Vista. If they don't, Iwill be totally thru with ATI. Already I absolutely refuse to use an ATI video card because of stuff like this. Found an HDMI caputre card for $200 that will serve my purposes of wanting an HD signal tho.
If you've already been playing with Windows 7 RC, how close do you think it is to being ready to ship?
