Download Windows 7 RC

Partners: If you have a subscription to MSDN or TechNet, you can download Windows 7 RC now. Otherwise, you can download Windows 7 RC starting May 5, 2009.

edit:

Information from Microsoft Online Concierge Chat:

Currently the Windows 7 RC has not been avaiable through the TechNet subscription yet, only the Microsoft OEM partners such as Dell, Siemens are taking part in the RC's this period of test.

Looks like they just updated that main page, but clicking the "Download Windows 7 RC" button still shows the same downloads as Beta. I would say give it until the end of next week to see if it gets into subscribers hands and hopefully leak for the rest of us.

oops..think mikey jumped the gun

"Partners: If you have a subscription to MSDN or TechNet, you can download Windows 7 RC now. Otherwise, you can download Windows 7 RC starting May 5, 2009."

who has a subsription so they can test this?

I thought I clearly stated that?

Hmmm.....2 weeks left for me.

Cant wait though....upgraded from 7000 to 7048 and planned to hold off a full reinstall until RC came around.

Anyone know if you just re-use your beta key for this or do you get a new one?

Suspect MS would want to give subscribers plenty of time to download at fast rates to avoid the same problems with beta. After all, they are paying big money to get priority over the releases.

I would assume the same keys should work as there would be no reason for MS to complicate things, unless they want to make it harder for us to use a leaked RC.

regardless u will still have 30 days to activate and surely the rc will be public by then, may 5, is closer than 30 days

It seems a little wacky that Partners can download it now but MSDN and TechNet Subscribers still have to wait until May. What's up with that?

What? It is for MSDN and Technet subscribers...

u didnt say u had a subscription :huh:

You must of edited your post. I did not see the last part..

What build this is ?

???? it's the final RC build, what difference does it make about the build? anyways as soon as it hits, it will leak before the public can download it. finally i will get rid of vista and stick with 7.

my question is, will they be giving us all new keys to activate the RC?

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
