D7 will be ready when the 412 critical issues that are now in your right column on drupal.org are solved.
Some are guessing it will be out around march/april 2010, but depending how fast it goes solving the critical issues this estimate might change. If you look at Amazon for the estimated publishing date of most new Drupal 7 books they also seem to guess for april 2010 at the moment.
When upgrading from D5 to D7 you will have to upgrade first to D6 anyway. Theming changes of course you have to do only for D7.

Hi all, I need to make an offer for a client. He has a D5 site and want to make some changes before switch to D7. I want to switch it to D6, before changes. But I can not ask him money to switch from D5 to D6 and after from D6 to D7 if D7 will be out in few mounth.
So, does someone know a estimated release date ? or period.
Tnx and sorry for my bad english.
