Although I'm afraid I can't offer to send you a top-techie from Microsoft to help you with rolling out Windows 7 in your organisation, I can offer a good second best, thanks to the TechNet team. They got together with some of the product and support gurus on Windows 7, and created a big batch of videos on Windows 7  for IT Managers, containing very practical advice for people deploying Windows 7.
