Hi
The only way to obtain the RTM version of Windows 7 is through one of the many Microsoft subscriptions services, such as MSDN, Technet, MSDNAA, etc.
There is an evaluation version of Windows 7 Enterprise available that expires 90 days after it is installed. Here are links to the details and download.

why didnt we get both versions? I just drove 650 miles to attend and get this... I guess it was too good to be true. If i was to get the media, would the key work on 64bit also?
Edit:
I just verified that the key works on 64bit also.- Proposed as answer by DrX69 Friday, September 25, 2009 6:33 PM

Seems odd that they did not inform the people about the "fine" print on the event sheet.
I too drove an extend distance (200 miles) to obtain the 64 bit version as I have 8 gig of ram in my computer.
I was not overly happy about not being informed that this version was only the 32 bit one. I don't like
the idea dropping from 8 gig to 3 gig (1 gig video card) because of this limitation.
Dose each of the real RTM DVD's have all of the software and the key just unlocks the correct version?
