Windows 7 final version will be available via Windows Update ?

[Hardik]

Hello,
Yesterday I downloaded and installed Windows 7 RC.
This is the first time I install a Windows OS in advance, without waiting for the marketing of the final version. Here I have a question: here I have the RC version of Windows 7, when Windows 7 final version will be released then will it be marketed, or I could get it done directly through Windows Update? And then I buy a product key which requires a payment...
Thank you in advance for your reply ;-)

I have never heard of such a sale of OS via Windows Update by microsoft ... sorry, but when the commercial version will be released, you will have to buy the whole OS by paying for its version. Windows update is only used to download programs like wmp or other silverlight softwares, various patches and security updates and not for downloading a complete system ...

Alright, Thanks for the information. So what all versions of Windows 7 will be marketed. Also I heard that Windows 8 is also in progress followed by Windows 8, Windows 9 and so on..
