AMD's Lisa Su let slip in April that the Windows 10 release is scheduled for late July. The Verge is now reporting that Microsoft is still on track to hit a July date, according to sources "familiar with the matter."
The Verge's sources give a little more structure to the timeline. They claim that Microsoft was originally considering announcing a July 29 launch date on April 29 at its Build conference, putting three months between the announcement and the launch. The company didn't go forward with the announcement for fear of not hitting the date.
The report says that the company is aiming to finalize the Windows 10 code by the end of June.

This time was used by OEMs to prepare new machines and get them into sales channels in time for the official launch.
