I am still at their World Wide Partner conference where this announcement made
It will be RTM in first week of August and at the same time will be available to all Microsoft Enterprise customers as well. Probably it is not shipped until Oct as all the OEMs who have series of new windows hardware to release, Microsoft wants to give time to them under this agreement (Say Nokia, Samsung, Themself etc), else i don’t see any other reason. So in my opinion it is business decision rather than technical decision.
