Windows 7 out already?

from JoeUser Forums

I am curious. I have heard (thru some friends) that full versions of Windows 7 already exist out there, before the Oct 22 release of the software. Could this be true? I read online that those who have subscriptions to MSDN can get copies of Windows 7 Home, Premium, Professional and Ultimate in 32 and 64 bit right now. So does that mean some people already have Window 7, legit copies? What about corporations IT Depts? Do they get it before the release date? I’m curious, I want to learn more about this stuff.

Assuming their school isn't being completely and utterly idiotic about passing the MSDNAA info out...  (Still haven't gotten mine for this semester)
