I know Gerry Harvey was planning on hosting a big Windows 7 launch party tonight, proclaiming that they’ll be selling some of the first copies of Windows 7 in the world, but we’ve just received word that some stores are already selling notebooks with Windows 7 preloaded.
If you live anywhere near Mullumbimby, the Bridgelands Retravision store has Windows 7 computers on the shelves already. And I’m sure they aren’t the only ones — if you’re keen on picking up a Win7 laptop early, you should hit stores now…You’re welcome.

Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 9:36 PMHaving them on display and actually selling are two different things.
The store I work at had Win 7 machines on display.
But, we took PRE-ORDERS for the 22nd Oct.
So Retravision may have done the same!

Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 6:27 PMDoes anyone else find the amount of marketing done for this launch totally lacking? Nothing on the aussie microsoft site and the store does not even list the price.
America got the pre-order, they get a family pack…. but Australia just gets left in the dark.
