The "Official" RC download for Technet/MSDN

I'm 98% certain I'm good and it would be a pita to re-install now everything is running sweet (for a change

)...but still.....

I might just dl and install rc1 anyway, just to be official so I can be happy with reporting bugs.

That's OK I still haven't checked the Hashes on mine either, but I did download mine from the original leaked torrent.

I would check MrGRiM.....mine was the original leaked torrent too. I didn't think for a second there was anything wrong. There may not have been.....it ran very good....but the hash didn't match the one they say is good. Might want to check.

I switched my OS and had all programs back on in 30 minutes. It's not too bad (with Windows 7) Imagine if it was XP......oh god.....it would take 2 hours.

The x86 and x64 versions were leaked by Einsteinjr on PB. The first notification about the torrent from Einsteinjr came from asfaltas on sevenforums.com. I fired up the x86 torrent (about midnight 4/24 CDT USA) and there were only 20 peers. Einsteinjr subsequently released the x64 torrent about an hour later.

Will Microsoft put the new Windows 7 on the microsoft site, or will they just put it on MSDN and technet???

From all I have read it will be on the Microsoft download site.

Don't be surprised if you can't get it until a day later. It will be busy.

Well, if I can get it soon IM HAPPY :)

You will need to keep an eye on http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/default.aspx tomorrow night.

When do they usually post these downloads when it's planned for a certain day? I wake up at 1 AM. I would just love for it to be there at that time. It would be 12 AM Redmond time. Do they wait until "business hours' normally?
