I don't know any exact date, but usually (from previous years) it took around a month to be able to buy the software in local stores....


Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64 Hungarian, Norton 360 v20.4.0.40, Norton Utilities 16, Symantec System Recovery 2013

Re: When is NIS 2010 Coming to Retail store

I was asking my local Staples store manager yesterday and he did not know but thought it it would be close to the time of WIN 7 release (ie Oct 22). When I said that new annual versions usually came in September he didn't change his opinion saying it usually tied in with a new Windows release.

 

But who knows apart from Symantec?

 

Certainnly his shelves were piled high with 2009 versions ......

Here are the "unleashing" dates (just rough dates) for the arrival of the Norton 2010 products (I don't know if that includes retail stores, but they must be pretty close) all around the world:

These are only the dates for the download versions... :(
For the retail version they have to create boxes, etc. what is a little time....

Thanks for clarifying that, PapauZ. Hmmm, how about the following formula...add about 10 days to each release date indicated in Tim's post ;-D

Re: When is NIS 2010 Coming to Retail store

Well the Norton Press Release for NIS 2010 dated on their website September 9 says it is in the retail stores "now"

 

http://www.symantec.com/about/news/release/article.jsp?prid=20090909_01   

 

But a mail order store I can't name but think of a warrior queen up river says of Norton AntiVirus 2010:

 

This item will be released on September 30, 2009.

Pre-order now!
