Hmmm... in het onderstaande nieuwsbericht (persbericht van de Microsoft website) staat zelfs nog een specifiekere datum (van de retail versie dan, maar die datum is voor consumenten natuurlijk het belangrijkst), namelijk 14 september

Zou dit nieuwsbericht dan een bevestiging zijn?
edit:
ah... ik zie het al (beetje laat en zo

). Dit bericht is vooral voor Beta testers interessant.
Er staat trouwens ook nog een interessante reactie op Betanews (betrouwbaarheidsgehalte meenemend):
</div><div class=b4>That date that was released is actually June 16th; I know, I have the final version of ME, but I'm not allowed to install it.
When ME was shipped, they actually made the person to received it sign a contract saying that they, personally, will not release the software to anyone else until the date of Sept 16. </div><div class=b1>
