Windows 7 would arrive in New Zealand first
The magic of time zones mean that New Zealand would become the first country on the planet to see the launch of Windows 7 operating system.
It would be followed by launch in Australia just while later.
Windows 7 is scheduled to arrive in the market on October 22 this year.
Microsoft said: “Our understanding at this time is that the availability of Windows 7 will ‘follow the sun’ on Thursday October 22. As such, we’re excited that the first retail sales globally of Windows 7 will take place in New Zealand and Australia as we cross the dateline ahead of other markets.”
Windows 7 is the next edition of Windows OS after Vista. Microsoft has already released a couple of test releases and the response has been positive.
