There certainly has been a lot of discussion about Windows 7 in the last few weeks. A lot of folks want to know when they can get their hands on the official RC, when we are going to RTM, and what I had for breakfast.

I’m pleased to share that the RC is on track for April 30th for download by MSDN and TechNet subscribers. Broader, public availability will begin on May 5th.

On behalf of everyone here, I would to thank all of our beta testers for helping us get to this point. You guys have been busy. At the peak of the feedback cycle, we were receiving a “Send Feedback” report every 15 seconds for an entire week. Since then, the engineering team has been busy analyzing the feedback, fixing bugs, and working hard to improve the overall experience. Many of your suggestions helped us refine the new and improved taskbar, the behavior of Aero Peek, Touch, Windows Media Player,

 

I'll wait for my 'official' copy thank you very much, I don't go coo-coo for betas anymore.:-D

 

Yep me too Augie but i was just remarking that it does not take long for the pirates to get working.

 

I've had the beta on dual boot for a couple of months or so and am really impressed with it. I'll certainly grab the RC when available.

Thanks!
