Windows 7 Developer Guide

Build applications on a solid foundation; enable richer application experiences; and integrate the best of Windows and web services. The features and technologies of the Windows 7 operating system enable you to build the next generation of software applications. Download this guide to read descriptions of those features and see vivid screen shots from the pre-Beta version of Windows 7 released at PDC.

Note When you try to download a resource, Code Gallery requires you to accept an End User License Agreement (EULA). If you have a popup blocker turned on, the EULA may not appear and the download may fail. If this happens, turn off your popup blocker and try again.

For discussions about specific programming concepts, please see the appropriate section of the Software Development for Windows Client forums.

The best source for further information about Windows 7 testing and releases is the site http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7, which our product marketing team owns and will keep up to date as the beta information is available. Also note that the Windows Vista blog where you will see announcements and news has been updated to reflect the inclusion of Windows 7. This blog is now known as the Windows Blog: http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/.
