Technology as a way of life

The Windows 7 Release Candidate has been released and is available at the Microsoft Partner Program site which contains a short post and a download button for the release candidate. It does not look like it is offered to all subscribers at the moment as some report that they only see beta downloads and not the RC in the download list. Could be that it is only available to selected partners at this time. It is however very likely that all partners will be able to download the release candidate soon. Both MSDN and Technet subscribers will be able to download the RC prior to its public release.

Interesting for mere mortals is the release date of the Windows 7 Release Candidate which has been set to be May 5.

As the next-generation operating system from Microsoft, Windows 7 opens new development, sales, and services opportunities for your business. With Windows 7, you can offer your customers a robust foundation for high-quality experiences across applications, services, PCs, and devices.
