Official Windows 7 RC Available Right Now!

Awesome!! thanks for the link man :) downloading here at 2mb/sec from Microsoft, fair play to them cause their servers must be overloaded!

If anybody wants to try the new XP mode out, the download details are in the following thread - Download Windows Virtual PC Beta and Windows XP Mode Beta

Yeah, I would download and install it if it supported an upgrade. But if I have to blow away my configuration, I'll wait a month or so for the RTM version. Thanks but no thanks.

I'll wait a month or so for the RTM version.

unless you're talking about hoping for a leaked RTM build you'll be waiting much longer than a month for final RTM

Hello Reno,

Uh??

The Windows 7 RC is directly from Microsoft unlike the 7048 build.

Been running 64 bit build 7100 since saturday via a fresh build everything is running great so far.
Good luck to all hope you have the same success.

Many thanks Howdr, it's coming down and much faster than I ever imagined it would (an average speed of 120kB/sec using my 3G mobile modem and your given link (Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) x86). big THANK YOU.

Does anyone know, what if any differences there are between the Win-7 RC1 version that was leaked about a week ago, and the current Public Release (Cinco de Mayo) ??
