Windows 7 Release Candidate Announcement

Thank you very much for your help in testing the Windows 7 Beta. Your feedback is invaluable in helping make Windows 7 a high quality operating system. With your help, we have reached the next major milestone on the journey to Windows 7: the Release Candidate (RC).

- On April 30th, the RC became available to MSDN subscribers and TechNet Plus subscribers.

- On Tuesday, May 5 (PST), the RC will be available to everyone via our Customer Preview Program. As with the Beta, the Windows 7 RC Customer Preview Program is a broad public program that offers the RC free to anyone who wants to download it. It will be available at least through June 30, 2009, with no limits on the number of downloads or product keys available.



So you don’t need rush to make sure you get your copy. When you’re ready to download the RC, it’ll be waiting for you.


To get the RC please use one of the following links:

- Developers
- IT Pros/Microsoft Partners
- Tech Enthusiasts/Consumers

_________________________________________________________________

IMPORTANT: If you are running Windows 7 Beta you’ll need to back up your data (preferably on an external device) and then do a clean install of the Windows 7 Release Candidate. After installing Windows 7, you will need to reinstall applications and restore your files. If you need help with the installation process, please see the Installation Instructions.


If you’re running Windows Vista, you can install Window 7 RC without having to back up and reinstall your programs and data. But to be on the safe side, please do backup your data before you start.


Please note: All users of the Windows 7 Release Candidate (including Windows Vista users who have upgraded to the Release Candidate) must do a clean installation of Windows 7 RTM. Please keep this is mind as you consider downloading the Release Candidate as opposed to waiting for the general availability release.


Thanks again for your help in reaching this important milestone. We hope that you will join us in testing the RC and finishing Windows 7!

    yeah, I got that too, They're still using those links to beta version? I just tried one but it allowed me to download previous version of beta. That means do i have to wait until for the announced date? :D
