When will Java 7 'Officially' be Available?

"Sure Java 7 is available if you look for it on Oracle.com but not on the main Java site and not as part of the Java updater either.

In my opinion, that means that Java 7 isn't quite yet fully generally available for public use then is it?

Oracle has a small FAQ answer on this whole issue too.

"The new release of Java is first made available to the developers to ensure no major problems are found before we make it available on the java.com website for end users to download the latest version."
