Windows 7 will be out in the street in a few days more (October 22, this Thursday) and Microsoft Press is giving us a very useful book for free: Windows 7 Deployment Essential Guidance.

This e-book contains ten chapters from another official Microsoft Press book: Windows 7 Resource Kit (not for free, of course). Contains all the necessary information about Windows 7 deployment planning, execution, automation and tools involved in the process.

Here’s a summary of the topics involved:

• Planning Deployment
• Testing Application Compatibility
• Developing Disk Images
• Migrating User State Data
• Deploying Applications
• Volume Activation
• Using Windows Deployment Services (WDS)
• Using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)

But that’s not all: Microsoft also published as a free download the Chapter 23 of the Windows 7 Resource Kit, “Supporting Users Using Remote Assistance”.

Enjoy!
