Rumor: Windows 7 RTM sign off on July 13

Russian rumor website Wzor is reporting that the Windows 7 RTM sign off is set for July 13. Throughout the development of Windows 7, Wzor has been known to continually leak out build strings and important dates.

This is a translated version of the roadmap given:

FINAL ROADMAP FOR WINDOWS 7 [CLIENT-SERVER]:
6/1 – 6/19 BUILDING RTM ESCROW – already assembled RTM ESCROW.
6/22 – 7/10 RTM RECALL – assembly and search for candidates to the final RTM release.
7/10 WINDOWS 7 RTM FINAL BUILD TARGET – build day “gold code”.
7/13 WINDOWS 7 RTM SIGN-OFF – the date of signing the final RTM release!

Wzor’s new date contradicts with what they had said earlier about June. It also contradicts Neowin’s previous post about their sources claiming the RTM sign off by the end of June. As of now, Wzor has stated that the latest RTM build has the following string: 6.1.7263.0.win7_rtm.090619-1900

Microsoft had previously announced that Windows 7 will be shipping October 22.
