Download Windows 7 RTM Preinstallation Kit for OEMs

Just 10 days ahead of the Windows 7 General Availability deadline, Microsoft made available for download the preinstallation resources associated with the RTM Build of the latest Windows client. The Windows 7 OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) is now up for grabs via the Microsoft OEM partner Center. But don’t let the name fool you, the OEM Preinstallation Kit for Windows 7 RTM is a collection of resources designed for system builders, namely custom PC integrators, rather than original equipment manufacturers. With the downloads, system builders get an introduction to Windows OPK, guidance on how to prepare their labs, deployment instructions as well as video demonstrations. What they don’t get is the actual Windows 7 RTM bits, which are not included in the OPK.

No, it's like a product brochure for companies to get ready for the transition, it has nothing to do with the actual process of installation.

Thank you for the quick reply I was worried I was missing something or even worse that I was out 100 bucks. Thanks again!

You'll be all set there since this is something totally separate for system builders and other business sources as Duesco was pointing out there. Often times you will see various kits available at TechNet, MSDN, or MS Partners on Connect for things like this for the different editions as well as various development tools as well.
