    I am downloading this right now with a working serial on hand. The website itself is the real thing, so everything seems to be in order. Thanks nobscot!

    The site itself tells you how long it will be avaliable

    You don't need to rush! The RC will be available at least through July, and we're not limiting the number of downloads or product keys. So you have plenty of time.

    I am sorry but this thread is a bit late the official links as well as all keys that activate windows 7 RC have been on this forum for almost a week now.

    Please see this thread. Also in that thread I linked to the direct downloads on Microsoft's servers so you don't need to go through signing in with a windows live account. :)

    wow, my favorite forum always amazes me when we already have all the indows 7 RC keys, according to Evolution and then the link he references says all the keys won't be released till Mar 2010 -- we must have a great MS insider in our midst :) or he may have made a typo........

    I am not trying to start any competition here and I don't want any credit for linking the previous thread. All I am trying to say is that the official download link for windows 7 RC(the same link you gave in this thread) has been on the forum (in that thread titled "windows 7 RC released") for almost a week. I am not "downplaying" your thread I am just saying we should keep all of the info in one thread to keep all the information in one place.
    Relax! :cool:

    I am a bit confused with this post :confused: If you checked that thread you will see that in my post I provided all 15 RC keys in use. The march 2010 thing comes in as that is the date that windows 7 RC will start to nag you that it will expire in two months because of the time bomb built into the code. Again I am not looking for any "fame" just trying to keep things together! :)
