Yes, I saw the same Forge download... Been checking practically every day this last week.
As for the MCP, once you install Forge, on the main splash screen it says: MCP V9.01-pre
This is exactly what the image had that lexManos tweeted a few days ago. The pre-release is out and we can now start seeing mods being updated in the next few days.
Thanks Forge team for getting this out so quickly after the MCP "prelease"
