Leave it to M$ to make tools difficult to acquire without blowing $ out the door! Neither Vista nor 7 resource kits are easy to find if at all for regular searching users. BTW M$, don't think the public is fooled by Win 7 being just a candied version of Vista and repackaging it to sell again as retail new version product. Terrible business practice that will return to haunt you!

"it looks like the tools will be on the Web by the end of the week"

Which week was that? Your comment was seven weeks ago, and there's still no sign of them on the download center.

Hey Guys, I just saw where the Windows 7 Resource Kit has been releases but can not get it in the book stores. Called Barnes & Noble and they just said they can't order it. Any ideas?????

Regarding question about exchanging Vista Resource Kit with Windows 7 Resource Kit --

You can try to return your unopened Vista Resource Kit to the store where you purchased it and ask if they will allow you to exchange it for the new Windows 7 Resource Kit.

Our accounts handle all sales of our books. It's up to each store how to handle such requests.

Regarding the comment asking about give-aways:

No, we don’t have plans to give away Windows 7 Resource Kit copies. However, sometimes other groups at Microsoft, such as the folks who run the Windows team blog, may use their marketing funds to give away copies.

I had purchased Vista Resource Kit and have not opened it yet. Its still in packed condition. Is there anyway to exchange the same and get Windows 7 Resource Kit?

Btw will the tools be available freely on the web? The Windows Vista resource kit tools were never made available on the Download Center.

At the time of release of the Windows Vista resource kit, there was a giveaway of 15 or 10 copies on the Windows team blog. Will there be again? ;)
