Today is the big day for Redmond. They finally are allowing the public access to the Windows 7 RC. This means go and get your CD key and try it out. Of course remember that this is not the final version and that Microsoft doesn’t officially have to support this release. This release though will be usable till March of 2010 which means that you have quite a bit of time to buy Windows 7. The real question is “Is Microsoft using the Windows 7 RC as a kind of unofficial trial?” I think the answer to this question is yes. I think the RC is being used by Microsoft to win over all the naysayers of Windows Vista to regrow the Windows brand. Is this really a bad thing? I don’t think so I mean it means I don’t have to buy a copy of Windows 7 the day it comes out. Anyways linked below are the announcement from the Windows Blog and Paul Thurrott’s review of the RC which goes over the changes between the Beta and RC. I may or may not post a review of the RC in the coming weeks I haven’t decided yet.
