Microsoft has already allowed some small system builders to start selling the new Windows 7 PCs more than a week before the official launch date of October 22, according to PCWorld.

According to Jon Bach, the president of Puget Systems, the company is going to start selling Windows 7 PCs on October 13.

“We have a long line of customers who are waiting for Windows 7,” said Bach, who added that his sales team has taken informal orders for new Windows 7 machines from about 50 customers.

However, Microsoft doesn’t comment on the early availability of Windows 7 through system builders yet.
