This is it people. Windows 7 RTM is available for download from MSDN & TechNet sites! If you have a MSDN subscription you can get Windows 7 RTM in English. On October 1st, the remaining languages will be released, for more information read - Windows 7 RTM Available Today for MSDN & TechNet Subscribers. You can also get the Windows 7 SDK  and the RTM version of the Windows API Code Pack for .NET Framework.

Make sure you get them all today to start testing your applications, and to make sure your applications are ready for Windows 7 RTM! Now is the time to work on your applications to make sure they are Windows 7 compatible. On top of that, you can use new Windows 7 features such as the Sensor and Location Platform, Taskbar, Libraries, Multi-Touch, the new Graphics APIs, the Windows Ribbon, and many other important and exciting Windows 7 technologies to make your application shine on Windows 7.

New Windows 7 Training Kit for Developers - Get it NOW!

To help you get your application on Windows 7 as soon as possible, we updated the Windows 7 Training Kit for Developers for the RTM version and gave it a new look and better functionality. You can still find all existing topics such as: Taskbar, Sensor and Location, Libraries and Shell, DirectX, Multi-touch, Ribbon, etc. No dev was left behind! The kit is built for both native Win32

C++ developers and .NET developers, so now most topics have multiple labs.We also added 6 new Application Compatibility labs: Version Checking, Data Redirection, UIPI, Installer Detection, Session 0 Isolation, and High DPI, to help you get over the most common application compatibility issues. All the topics in the training kit include additional information like whitepapers, links to MSDN, and links to videos from Channel 9.

 Updated Windows Topic Area on Channel 9

We also gave the Windows topic area on Channel 9 a brand new look and functionality to help you to better choose the right Windows 7 content you need. In the new Windows topic area for Channel 9, you can choose from three main topic areas:

• Using Windows 7 – Contains consumer- and user-related videos such as how to install Windows 7 and how to set up a home group network
• Programming Windows 7 – I don’t really need to explain what goes here, right?
• Last but not least, “Under the Hood” – Contains classics like the interview with Mark Russinovich on Windows 7 Internals.

While we hope you find all this helpful, this is only the start! We are working on more new and exciting content that will be shipped in the following weeks, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, here is some additional useful information:

• The Windows page on MSDN is the one-stop shop for Windows client developers
• At Develop for Windows 7, you can find all the information you need about specific technologies like Direct2D, Taskbar, Sensor and Location, Power Shell 2, Windows Ribbon, and many more
• Windows Application Compatibility is the one page you want to visit to make sure your application runs properly on Windows 7; it includes content and tools to test and fix many application compatibility issues. Directly accessible from that page, is the Windows 7 Application Quality Cookbook
• Also still very relevant, is the Windows Vista Application Compatibility Cookbook--most Windows 7 compatibility issues are the direct result of the changes introduced in the Windows Vista timeframe, and are included as topics in this Cookbook (UAC, Session 0 Service Isolation, IE Protected Mode, etc.), which is a great starting point for addressing these issues
• New Windows 7 videos on the Channel 9 Windows page explore specific features and technologies, and are great “windows” to the Windows engineering team
• As always, the E7 blog is an amazing source of the engineering back story behind Windows 7
• Last, but not least, for IT-Pro, we have our SPRINGBOARD SERIES, and edge on TechNet

And, of course, continue to watch for new posts.

As Brandon just posted about, MSDN and TechNet Plus Subscribers can now download Windows 7.

Starting tomorrow August 7^th, our Software Assurance/Volume License customers will be able to download the Windows 7 Enterprise Edition as well.

We are also planning an Enterprise Edition Evaluation version to be released in the near future. Watch for more details on that here in this blog. (Evaluation version was mentioned in Brandon’s previous post here)

To ensure there is no confusion, I wanted to take a moment to clarify a few points:

• While you may evaluate Windows 7 Enterprise for 90 days from the Volume License Web site, in order to deploy it into production now, you need to have an active Windows Client licenses covered by Software Assurance.
• If you don’t have Software Assurance, you should work with your local account representative or Large Account Reseller to purchase the licenses. As of September 1^st you will be able to purchase product Volume License upgrades to Windows 7 Pro and be able to order the media for Windows 7 Enterprise available to Software Assurance customers.

I’d also like to answer some of the most asked questions I’ve been seeing:

What features do I not have in Windows 7 Professional that I would have in Windows 7 Enterprise?

Windows 7 Professional does not support key features like DirectAccess, BitLocker Drive Encryption, BitLocker To Go, Enterprise Search Scopes, VDI experience enhancements, BranchCache, and Multilingual User Interface Language Packs.

What is Volume Licensing?

Volume Licensing is the most affordable way to upgrade your existing PCs to Windows 7. If your PCs are not already covered by Software Assurance, you can purchase upgrade licenses through a Volume Licensing program to gain access to Windows 7 Enterprise.

Windows licenses available through Volume Licensing are upgrade-only licenses. They do not replace purchasing the initial Windows licenses for software that comes pre-installed on new PCs. Each desktop that runs the Windows 7 upgrade must first be licensed to run one of the qualifying operating systems (Windows Vista (Enterprise/Business/Ultimate) or Windows XP (Professional)—otherwise the PC will not have a valid, legal Windows license.

What is Software Assurance?

When you acquire Windows 7 Professional licenses, either through Volume Licensing upgrades or through an OEM, you can cover those licenses with Software Assurance to get rights to Windows 7 Enterprise, that offers unique benefits such as, BitLocker Drive Encryption and Multilingual User Interface Language Packs, as well as access to the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. You can learn more about Software Assurance here.

What else do I get with Software Assurance?

· Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) - MDOP is an add-on subscription license that provides innovative technologies to help better control the desktop PC, accelerate and simplify desktop PC deployments and management, and create a dynamic infrastructure by turning software into centrally-managed services. Learn more about MDOP here.

• Windows Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop (VECD) for Software Assurance - Windows VECD is an annual device-based subscription that enables organizations to license virtual copies of Windows 7 (or prior OS versions) in a variety of user scenarios.
• Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs - Available exclusively to Microsoft Software Assurance customers, this small-footprint, Windows-based operating system solution is for customers with legacy computers running early operating systems who are not in a position to purchase new hardware.
• Virtual OS Rights - Use up to four instances of Windows in virtual OS environments for each license that has active Software Assurance coverage.
• New Version Rights - Receive new versions of licensed software released during the term of your coverage. If you have Software Assurance coverage for your PCs when Windows 7 is released, you will automatically receive rights to use Windows 7 Enterprise on those PCs.

Customers with Software Assurance for Windows also have access to the following additional benefits:

• TechNet benefits through Software Assurance
• Extended Hotfix support
• 24x7 problem resolution support
• Enterprise Source Licensing Program
• E-learning
• Training vouchers

For more information on the benefits of Windows 7 Enterprise, I recommend reviewing this post from Gavriella Schuster. Also, to understand more on how to assess Windows 7 Enterprise for your organization visit the Springboard Series on TechNet here

Windows 7 Enterprise is another example of Microsoft’s commitment to delivering continual innovation to enterprises around the globe. We look forward to working with you and continuing to share more information about Windows 7 and what it has to offer our business customers.

If you have more questions you can read our Guide to Windows Volume Licensing.

As we previously announced, today MSDN & TechNet Subscribers will be able to download Windows 7 RTM in English. On October 1st, the remaining languages will be released.

The bits are available now!

And tomorrow, our Volume License (VL) customers with an existing Software Assurance (SA) license will be able to download Windows 7 RTM in English via the Volume License Service Center (VLSC). In a few weeks, the remaining languages will become available to them. If you are a VL customer without a SA license, you will be able to purchase Windows 7 through Volume Licensing on September 1st.
