Latest News is they are on schedule and a "release candidate" version will be out before May 5

"Release candidate" means it is an almost complete Beta version
When the Final or Gold version is announced that will be full featured But still a bit buggy (Hence all the security patches for the first few months)
I'd say give it a few months to settle down. and the Price to drop on the software (No Figures quoted yet) Be patient! Roll Eyes

Putting Meat on the News the Public release is confirmed as Tuesday May 5th

quote:
April 25, 2009 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. confirmed Friday that it will make Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) available to the general public on May 5, a date that had leaked last weekend when a company site briefly published details about the upcoming milestone.

In an entry to a company blog, Microsoft spokesman Brandon LeBlanc also announced that the release candidate would be available before then to subscribers to a pair of services targeting developers and IT professionals. "The RC is on track for April 30 for download by MSDN and TechNet subscribers. Broader, public availability will begin on May 5," LeBlanc said.
