As the owner of a Windows 7 Forum, I know that unless your are a hardware partner, you cannot get a copy of Windows 7. I know someone that is in the industry to got Windows 7 M1, but I don't think it's avaliable via technet right now. You'll have to wait for M5 most likely.

Anyway, I don't really know how cool Windows 7 will be, because Microsoft is keeping hush about it, just the way Apple does with their products.
