The next market session will close:

Microsoft Corp.’s (Nasdaq: MSFT) soon-to-debut operating system - Windows 7 is one of the company’s fastest, most stable versions of Windows yet, and a pre-release version is generating an overwhelmingly positive buzz.

Market-research firm International Data Corp. (NYSE: IDC) estimates that 78% of enterprise users will have Windows 7 desktops, marking the first time a Microsoft operating system has achieved such dominance since Windows XP, which was released in October 2001.

Current plans call for Windows 7 to be released in late October. Upgrades will range in price from $119 to $219, while new purchases will range from $199 to $319, according to the latest available information.

The product is an important one for the software giant.
