Windows 7 RC1 Released

May 5, 2009 By Michael Kavka Leave a Comment

Microsoft pulled a fast one and put up the Windows 7 RC download a day early. Now it time to get it and play with it. I understand that XPM is supposed to be testable, so lets see what it is, and don’t forget to report bugs you find so maybe we can get the worst bugs out of it before it ships.

You can download it at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx

They did set it up so that if the download gets interrupted it will pick up where it left off, which should make things a little easier on that end.
