The folks over at the Windows Team Blog announced today that both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM'd today. It's an important milestone for both the desktop and server world, particularly in the virtualization space, as Hyper-V will usher in a new era of competition in the hypervisor world.

Both products will hit MSDN in the next several weeks (with Windows Server 2008 R2 taking a week or two longer), and the street date for both is set for October 22, 2009.

Read the whole story over on the Windows Team Blog.
