Windows 10 Pro price and release date potentially leaked by Newegg

[JMH]

By now, our readers know that Windows 10 is slated to be released to manufacturing this July. Popular shopping site Newegg has apparently and likely inadvertently revealed the general availability date for Windows 10, by listing a pre-order of Windows 10 Pro OEM. According to Newegg (first spotted by WinSupersite), Windows 10 Pro OEM will run for $149.99 and will be available on the 31st of August.

Microsoft has yet to reveal the price tiers for the different Windows 10 editions (you can read more about that here) and there's a chance that this information may just be a place holder for Windows 10 on Newegg. For example, Windows 7 is also listed for $149.99. For now, we suggest taking this with a huge grain of salt. Here's a cached version of the Newegg listing on Google in case it gets removed.

New Evidence Suggests AMD was Right, Windows 10 to RTM in July

Are you ready for Windows 10? Some are. And, for those that aren't, it's looking more and more like Microsoft's Windows 8 apology could actually release in late July – so get ready.

Microsoft has continued to publicly promise a summer release for Windows 10 while many testers have wondered how the company could make the deadline with so many bugs still present in the beta builds. However, the last couple builds have shown a spit and polish with very few new features, showing that the OS could already be feature-complete and the software company is only working to make existing new features work.

Just last month, AMD's president and CEO, Lisa Su, outed Windows 10 RTM in an analyst call, saying…

What we also are factoring in is, you know, with the Windows 10 launch at the end of July, we are watching sort of the impact of that on the back-to-school season, and expect that it might have a bit of a delay to the normal back-to-school season inventory build-up.
