RTM means the code is considered finished from an engineering perspective and is ready to be pressed on CDs, installed on manufacturers’ PCs, and put on Microsoft’s servers for download.

Windows 7 is set for a consumer launch on Oct. 22.

Developers, partners, and Microsoft’s volume customers on the company’s various individual and organizational licenses and subscriptions will get Windows 7 ahead of that.

Microsoft already outlined in a blog post Tuesday how its various sets of customers can get the RTM version of the client OS either August 6, 7, 16, or 23, depending on who they are.

The company has run a streamlined operation getting Windows 7 out. The operating system qualified for a single beta and completion came just nine months after the code first previewed.
