'Not only is RTM an important milestone for us, it's also an important milestone for our partners.'

Microsoft put Windows 7 through myriad quality tests and incorporated feedback from partners and test users before approving it for release to computer makers, according to LeBlanc.

'Our customers told us what they want (and expect) and we defined those specific experiences and then built features to support them,' LeBlanc wrote.

'Windows 7 on Thursday runs great on the broadest array of hardware types ranging from netbooks to high-end gaming machines.'

Windows 7 code will be delivered to hardware makers within the next few days, according to Microsoft.
