Yeah i read a similar article. Saying it should be available to manufacturing around august 2009🙂
They're currently pushing for a late August RTM, however, officially, they're still listing October 3rd or Later as the RTM date.
I think it'll be closer to August, frankly. That's why they've pushed back the preliminary build date "Good until" dates from Aug 1st to July 1st.

I hate to give away my complete, utter noobiness, but could someone smarter than I am suggest what we're likely to want to do if our evaluations expire on 1 July and the release isn't shipping until August?

Well you will most likely have to switch back to vista for the short period. Their are activation cracks online but i never recommend those to anyone since you cant get windows updates with them. Just go back to vista for the time and then wait.
