Microsoft: Developers will get Windows 7 alpha next month
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft confirmed today that it will hand out preview copies of Windows 7 to attendees at next month's Professional Developers Conference.
Sinofsky is also on the WinHEC agenda, where he's scheduled to deliver a keynote speech on Nov. 5. Microsoft, however, has not officially announced that it will deliver a Windows 7 alpha to attendees there.
Cherry fully expects the WinHEC attendees to get the same build as those at the PDC. "The people who really should be looking at the Windows 7 alpha at this point are those with the longest lead times, and that's the hardware developers," he said.
