I just visited Amazon.com and got a nice surprise. The arrival date for Windows 7 Inside Out had moved up from September 30 to September 23. That’s tomorrow.
If you’ve pre-ordered a copy, leave a comment here and let me know when you receive it. Carl, Craig, and I are all interested in your feedback!

Just looked at Amazon and it stills says “This item not yet released” with no date.
I have preordered it and will let you know when I receive it.
Frank, go down to the Product Details section and you’ll see the expected ship date.
I placed my pre-order on June 5th with Amazon and have an estimated ship date of Oct. 2nd.
I will post again when it does ship.
I was all set to get on the band wagon because I’m still XP farbehind. However, a friend reminded me, and what I really want to know is, how many printers, software, whatever am I going to have a major surprise over losing access to and have to replace. I always forget these upgrades are never just about buying the disc and loading it. I’m thinking it best to wait til the death of my current hardware and buy new and prinstaled and really start over. Am I too pessimistic?
@David Gray: That is a generic upgrade question, and nothing at all to do with Windows 7. I hope you are buying a copy of Ed’s book, it sounds like you might need it.
My expected ship date is 10/02/09. I will let you know if it arrives early.
Dear Ed,
I think that a book like this that has 1000+ pages should be Hardcover and not Paperback.
I remember that my Inside Out copy of Windows XP was torn into pieces after a few months’ use.
Order placed August 25. Still says delivery on October 9. I am ready!!
Amazon is showing your book as “In Stock” today. I still have a ship date of Oct. 2nd.
Good luck to you and your co-authors with the Win7 edition.
