images/news/windows7.jpgThe RC of Windows 7 is finally here

As the next-generation operating system from Microsoft, Windows 7 opens new development, sales, and services opportunities for your business. With Windows 7, you can offer your customers a robust foundation for high-quality experiences across applications, services, PCs, and devices.

We are pleased to announce that Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) is available. Windows 7 RC is the prerelease version of Windows 7. Since this is not the final release, your PC will gather and send information to Microsoft engineers to help them check the fixes and changes made based on testing of Windows 7 Beta.

Test-drive Windows 7 RC today to see for yourself—and to show your colleagues and customers—how Windows 7 delivers improved management, security, reliability, and performance.

If you have a subscription to MSDN or TechNet, you can download Windows 7 RC now. Otherwise, you can download Windows 7 RC starting May 5, 2009.

Same here, not the RC, it's the beta still

[Nvyseal]

I think for right now, only partners see the RC or it was a goof, and it looks like MS might have changed the page. what i saw last night was different.

This is what i saw last night...



Also reported on Engadget via arstechnica

There have been dowloads out there for a couple months claiming to be the RC, so be careful what you get.

I think I'll wait till someone comes on this forum and confirms they are using the RC- until then I'll be happy with 7057.
