Windows 7 RC Downloads Available Until August 20
Friendly reminder we just got from Microsoft. If you are interested in getting your free–legal–version of the Windows 7 RC Build 7100 in 32-bit or 64-bit head on over to Microsofts download page to snatch it up while you still can.
Notice: Downloads will end August 20
Thanks for all your help building Windows 7. We are on our way to the last big milestone: Release to Manufacturing. Starting on October 22, you’ll see it on PCs and store shelves. As we gear up for that, it’s time to wind down the Release Candidate testing program.
If you or a friend needs a download, you’ve got time. We’ll continue to offer the RC download until August 20, 2009. After that, you won’t be able to get the download, but if you have the bits, you can still install the RC and get a key if you need one. (To get a key, just go to the Downloads page and follow the instructions.)
Vista has been a real pain. I like the snipping tool though. The blank screens and constant need to verify every single time a program runs is a real pain.
I have high hopes for Windows 7, which I hope will have some staying power and be around for more than a year or two.
I’ll try the down load and see where that takes me. It is a big step of faith though!
