Ready or not Windows 7 is coming. I admit it, I skipped Vista like many IT Pros did. I have been beta testing Windows 7 and I have to say, Microsoft delivered the goods this time. I will no longer have to request “No Vista! Only XP SP3 please!” Anyway enough of me kissing Microsoft’s ass and lets give you what you came for:
Microsoft TechNet just released two 9 minute videos on how to use MDT 2010 to upgrade your XP boxes to Win7 with out too many headaches.
First Video: Part 1: Building the Deployment Environment

Learn how to build media that will automatically migrate computers from Windows XP to Windows 7 with user data, custom applications and drivers. This demonstration will walk you through the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) Deployment Workbench and how it works.
Second Video: Part 2: Initiating the Install and Migrating the PC

Explore the user experience for migrating the Windows XP computer to Windows 7 and how brief - or "lite touch" - interaction is required up front to automate the entire process of data migration, OS installation, driver and application customization, and domain join.
