It’s official: Windows 7 RC available to everybody on May 5
Posted on April 25th, 2009 at 12:51 3 comments‘Softie Brandon LeBlanc has just confirmed what we’ve all suspected for quite a while about the Windows 7 Release Candidate:
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.
Pirate copies are burning up the ether right now. Those of you who pay for MSDN or TechNet subscriptions can get the official version on April 30. And the unwashed (and unpaying) masses can try to get it before the servers melt down on May 5.

So this means what for a laymen?
MSoft is going to release a full-featured OS for free? Or is a RC some sort of trial?I guess my main question is : What differentiates a RC from a fully licensed OS?

I have the same question, if anybody has the answer…
What is an RC? And is it free? -
Sorry, never mind that last comment
I didn’t see that you had answered my question in the next post
Thanks!
