Windows 7 Release Candidate now available for everybody

Don’t rush.

As expected, Microsoft has just posted the official Windows 7 Release Candidate. (Actually, they got it out a day early Redmond time.)

Be sure to read the admonitions on the download page before you install it. While Windows 7 is remarkably stable, it still isn’t fully baked.

UPDATE: AT 2 a.m. on May 5, Redmond time, the 32-bit and 64-bit consumer downloads are running at full speed.
