Just some flash back on the event itself.

Me, Walter and Tim testing out the multi touch demo. Lots of hard work

On Friday, June 26, Microsoft announced  the official start of the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, which allows customers who buy a PC now from a participating OEM or retailer with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate to upgrade to Windows 7 at little or no cost ( a minimal shipping & handling fee apply). This program will be available until January 31, 2010 and is a global program.

The Windows team blog annouced that the final testing milestone for Win7 which is the RC will be available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers on 30th April.

On the mean time Paul Thurrott’s Super Site for Windows has tons of screenshots for Windows 7RC. Compared to Beta, I don’t see much difference except the news about a Virtual Windows XP Classic Mode.

Now I wonder how Paul got access to the build?
