Windows 7 Release Candidate - email from Microsoft

Wed, 06/05/2009 - 11:05am — jethro

A big thanks to everyone who participated in the Windows 7 Beta program. Your feedback was invaluable to Windows 7 engineering teams and has helped make Windows 7 the best Microsoft operating system to date. So far the beta has received very favorable reviews, like this one from CNET. The beta’s success has encouraged many companies to decide to migrate to Windows 7 upon release to market. Because the anticipation for the Windows 7 full release is so high, we believe the business opportunity for partners is unprecedented.
So, we couldn’t be more excited to bring you the next phase in Microsoft’s march toward the final release of this operating system. The RC is publicly available—download it now.
Get started with Windows 7 today—and get a head start when it comes to conversations with your customers about their platform and software options.
