I just wanted to take a moment and post a few quick reminders.

The Windows 7 Beta expires on August 1st.
The Release Candidate download ends on August 20th. You will still be able to get a product key beyond that date but, downloads will not be available. So if you have not downloaded the release candidate, please do so soon.

I ran into that one earlier. It's mostly a reminder for the most part on the 8/1 expiration date for anyone still running a beta 7000 build(or anything prior to the RCs that is).

The last two links one being for the Technet forum there and the Getting started with the Application Compatibility Toolkit are the two that are not rather outdated at this point. As for the Windows 7 Deployment FAQ link that's part of the ongoing Technet library and can be a good reference at times.
