Waiting for the RC has been like trying to get the red laser from a laser pointer

MSFT might like to see a leak at this time. It would let them get some unofficial feedback and telemetry before they commit to a public RC without being 'responsible' for it. Then they could 'adjust' dates accordingly, since they have not committed to a date.

Yeah, like the one I just found and reported -- if you move your profile folder, even though you set the music/videos/pictures blessed folder property to another folder, if it's not in \users\ media sharing to the homegroup does not work. Blatant oversight in testing...

And insightful comments like that.

Hopefully there's some way of salvaging the thread here with some "7 sanity"?!

"Highly possible Windows 7 RC out before Computex 2009, says Microsoft Taiwan

Estella Shen, Marvin Ma, Taipei; Adam Hwang, DIGITIMES [Tuesday 21 April 2009]


Microsoft Taiwan has confirmed that it is "highly possible" a release candidate (RC) build of Windows 7 will be made available before Computex Taipei 2009, which is scheduled for June 2-6.
Unconfirmed market reports indicate that high-level partners of Microsoft such as OEMs have already been given access to Windows 7 RC, and that Microsoft is planning to release this version to the public for testing on May 5.
In related news, multiple industry players, including notebook OEMs, chipset vendors, and graphics card vendors, have informed Digitimes that Microsoft is aiming to delver Windows 7 in time to catch the expected peak in demand during the year-end holiday season." Highly possible Windows 7 RC out before Computex 2009, says Microsoft Taiwan

What's being mentioned there is not simply the RC now expected by most in so many days but actually seeing 7 out before the year's end just in time for holidays and the busiest shopping season. Just would push it ahead of the January time frame according to that.
