Windows 7 is RTM

Windows 7 seems like a robust OS, ready for the market. I might even break my "rule of thumb" with this OS, and not wait for the SP1 to be released before I install it (or recommend it to customers and friends).

Now I'm only waiting for the release to hit the msdn download for partners, and then I'll download and install it right away.
