Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are ready

Microsoft announced yesterday that Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 have been released to manufacturing (RTM). This means that the final bits are soon becoming available to MSDN and Technet subscribers, volume customers, and later on the general public. MSDN subscribers should get the bits in about two weeks, on August 6th, and the general public on October 22nd. Sounds great to have the new versions of Windows ready!

The difficult part now is to wait until the MSDN release. Luckily, the RC version still works, and time can also be spent for example on the new Thrive site, aimed at independent software vendors.

Happy reading, the wait should soon be over!
