On Wednesday last week, all the validation checks were met and the product team signed off and declared build 7600 as RTM. <br> <br> So what does this mean in terms of when you can get access to a full copy of the RTM?... <br> <br> IT Professionals with TechNet Subscriptions (and Developers with MSDN Subscriptions) will be able to download Windows 7 RTM in English on August 6th and remaining languages by October 1st. ISVs and Partners will be able to download Windows 7 RTM from Microsoft Connect or MSDN on August 6th. <br> <br> <b>Business Customers..</b>If you are a Volume License (VL) customer with an existing Software Assurance (SA) license you will be able to download Windows 7 RTM in English starting August 7th via the Volume License Service Center (VLSC). <br> <br> Volume License customers <i>without</i> a SA license will be able to purchase Windows 7 through Volume Licensing on September 1st. Mark these dates on your calendar and start making your deployment plans! <br> <br> Finally, for consumers, Windows 7 will be in retail stores and shipping on new PCs starting October 22nd. <br> <br> I cannot get you access to the RTM any earlier, but we can offer you resources for IT Professionals to use to become experts on Windows 7 and to aid in their deployments! J Those resources can be found at the <a href="http://co1piltwb.partners.extranet.microsoft.com/mcoeredir/mcoeredirect.aspx?linkId=12301194&amp;s1=9daf2b98-bba1-cb12-a880-31971a0acb26">Springboard Series</a>. <br> <br> One last thing - an important announcement actually. Microsoft released two out-of-band security bulletins on July 28. The first one relates to Internet Explorer and the second is for the Visual Studio product line. These security updates were released outside of the usual monthly security bulletin release cycle in an effort to protect customers. Microsoft recommends customers prepare their systems and networks to apply these security bulletins immediately.

As you may be aware, with Windows 7 it has always been possible to remove Internet Explorer (IE) and this will continue to be the case in other countries outside Europe. This initially caused some confusion, which was compounded when we announced that, because Windows Vista always contains IE, the European versions will not do an in-place upgrade as versions in the rest of the world do. <br> <br> Most UK IT professionals will want to know what they have to do differently as a result? And the answer is, not much, actually. The European position does mean that you must actively ask 'which browser(s) does my company need?' rather than passively accepting the browser in the box. This matters much less to IT professionals than to consumers, assuming they are deploying machines efficiently. For IT pros with more than a couple of computers to deploy there is a good set of free tools which allow you to quickly make your own customised installation image. Unless you are installing on the day of release, you'll probably apply updates to the operating system. For example, on your to-do list there may be Windows settings you want to customise, you may want to add corporate wallpapers or fonts, and there are most likely applications you'll want to install as part of the set-up process. Now, you'll simply need to add 'select a browser' to your to-do list. At the time of writing, the exact process to add Internet Explorer 8 or another browser hasn't been announced, but whichever browser(s) you choose, you should not find the extra step onerous. <br> <br> And now a few other important things to keep in mind when deploying Windows 7. First, to make images from a standard installation and put these on to DVDs which employees can use to deploy for themselves, or better yet, USB flash devices which cut down installation time, is a very quick process. You can use the same image with Windows Deployment Services to install from the network without ever needing to take media to the computer. <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/dd349337(WS.10).aspx">Read more about deployment tools</a>. <br> <br> Second, Windows 7 is not an in-place upgrade. Customers who are still on Windows XP have known such an upgrade was never going to be an option, so only customers with Windows Vista will be affected. If you want the option to use bitlocker it will be necessary to repartition your disk (Windows 7 partitions disks to be bitlocker-ready). Many of the IT pros and support staff that I speak to say they prefer to avoid in-place upgrades as they can carry problems forward. By contrast, a re-installation is cleansing, as 'dead' applications are removed and systems are imaged to a common starting point, including standard applications. Remember there are tools to assist you. Windows Easy Transfer lives up to its name - easy by name, easy by nature - although it is user driven. <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/dd560801(WS.10).aspx">If you want to co-ordinate the process centrally, you can use the User State Migration Tool</a>. <br> <br> We will be returning to the wider questions of deployment in future issues. In the meantime, if you haven't tried Windows 7 yet, make sure you download the Release Candidate for evaluation before 15 August. <br> <br> <br> Yours sincerely, <o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> <div> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left style='mso-cellspacing:0cm;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184;mso-table-lspace: 2.25pt;mso-table-rspace:2.25pt;mso-table-anchor-vertical:paragraph;
