Windows 7 is coming!

First published on TECHNET on Nov 04, 2008
If you were one of the attendees at the Microsoft Professional Developer’s Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles last week, then you walked away with the Milestone 3 (M3) build of Windows 7.  The M3 build isn’t even a full Beta build – it’s pre-Beta !

Now, I can’t tell you when a public Beta version will be available.  Nor can I tell you when Windows 7 will be released (three years after the Windows Vista release is about the best I can do).  What I can tell you is that we’ll be blogging about Windows 7 in the very near future – just as we did prior to the release of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

In the meantime, to whet your appetite, we wanted to share some Windows 7 links with you:

• Welcome to Windows 7
• The Windows Blog – the October 29 post has some comments from some folks that are very critical of Windows about their impressions of Windows 7 following the PDC keynote
• The “Engineering Windows 7” Blog – we gave you this link recently, but for those that really want to see how Windows 7 is shaping up – this is the source!
• Windows 7 for the Enterprise – right now, there are some previews of the new features and key investments
• Windows 7 Developer Guide – get started building your Windows 7-ready applications now!
• PDC 2008 Site – watch recordings of the PDC sessions and the keynotes

Just a short post today to put you on the road to Windows 7.  Watch this space for more!
