Well, that's great news! Does that mean that MSDN subscribers will get it between late July and October (August or September maybe?). I am already developing in Win7 RC1, but wouldn't mind using the final for testing. Granted it's not hard core programs, just basic networking tools.

I was at a "Microsoft Embedded" day here in the UK and the Storage Senjor Dev. from Microsoft also dropped the bomb that it will be available for Technet and MSDN subscribers in July ... we looked quite baffeled and the day after that day we got the newsletter above ...

So I am quote confident that we will see W7 in Technet / MSDN in July ...

I hope that's true!

I'm still running build 7100 on my machine. I know there have been many, MANY leaks out there for updated builds, but I only run legit software on my machines. Too risky, otherwise.

Well, it's almost July, and I'm getting excited!

I'm such a geek.

I got a later build than 7100 (legally though), but didn't install it ... Simply no point since the RTM is getting closer
