With Windows 7 on the horizon, Apple’s planning on stealing the show?

imac macbook With Windows 7 on the horizon, Apples planning on stealing the show? Sounds about right, Microsoft plans to release Windows 7 on October 22 and Apple’s going to try stealing their thunder with a product update. At least that’s the currently held assumption by some of the tech industries’ top analysts.

It only makes sense right? Apple didn’t blow our doors off at the 09/09/09 event, so that must mean they’re holding off to steal some light from Microsoft. Surely, new MacBooks and iMac hardware would absolutely destroy some operating system announcements.

The Apple Blog seems to think it’s worth announcing, along with every other Apple-related site on the planet, so it must mean there’s some validity to it.

We wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t let you know about the rumor, but we’re not too sure if it’s smart to put a lot of stock in it, that being said, New iMacs and MacBook lines would be hot, hot, hot.

    It is likely there will be an announcement of sorts in october. October/early November is the time frame of MBP updates. Though they have updated the MBP line 3 times now in less than a year. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them announce switching to the core i7 chip and blu-ray drives since iTunes supports Blu-Ray now.

      Blu-ray support would be bad ass. It’d be even more bad ass if they released it like that dvd drve add on for the AIR. You better not be getting my hopes up Corey! lol.
