Today is the big day!
Windows 7 has been launched with much fanfare. This morning I got out of bed early (tough for me to do), queued up Microsoft PressPass and watched the Windows 7 Launch Event live from New York City.
Over the next few days I’ll be posting an in-depth review series of Windows 7 for all to enjoy.
If you are interested in purchasing Windows 7 you can buy it directly from Microsoft and download it and install it today! To buy Windows 7 click here.
For those of you with Netbooks wondering how you can install Windows 7 without a DVD drive, Microsoft has tool available called the Windows 7 USB / DVD Download Tool. This tool lets you use your downloaded copy of Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store and a USB flash drive to create a flash drive to use on your netbook to install Windows 7. This tool is available at http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool
Stay tuned for more Windows 7 stuff over the next 7 days!

UPDATE: Corrected link to Windows 7 USB Download Tool
The link you have doesn’t take you to the tool, it goes to some generic page about Windows 7 for netbooks.
Instead, this blog post is from one of their team members with screenshots:
