Please somebody leak it.

Then the Torrents will be so busy that I'll be able to download the whole Kybosh from the Official Microsoft site in about 15 mins whilst everyone else is complaining about Slow Torrent download speeds.

C'mon people -- May 05 is almost around the corner -- if you download RC now what are you going to do after it's been up and running stably for a week -- Look for the RTM builds perhaps.

Cheers

Very true jimbo, May 5th will be here soon enough. But i will be watching the ocean of torrents for a leak. About time they tell us when we can download it.

You know, if these governments spent more time governing and less time on the take from the megacorps in their countries we'd have the RC. It just makes me a little sick every time this tired old horse gets beat -- I mean how much have the various governments of the world milked Microsoft for now?

I appreciate very much your hack on installing Win 7 on sdhc (as you gave hints in another post in this forum some time ago), and I consider it almost genial, but, please, do not talk this kind of nonsense out of sheer impatience. Certainly MS has great products, but MS has been and still remains a greedy and monopolistic prone company which uses every opportunity to milk customers and, yes, governments (including public services) all around the world. Besides, the monopolistic issues with MS is very much legal, and very little writing code part of the business, in order to be a cause of delay.

So guys, uh... I think it's safe to say we're all addicts here. The RC is definitely out there somewhere, so the only thing someone has to do is locate an employee of one of the lucky Gold Partner organizations and beg and plead for a bit. Simple enough, I think.

begging and pleading is the easy part finding the employee is the hard bit.

That is true. But this IS the internet, after all, right? Someone has to know someone.
