So, the free-as-in-beer RC will include all the features available in the final product and will be functional until June 1st 2010. That gives you more than a year of free testing time with updates and everything. Sweet indeed.

I really, really hope PC Pro is correct here – a stunt like this could be what Microsoft needs to gain some goodwill. Windows 7 is getting some good buzz and this probably won’t hurt at allt. I’ll be the first in line to download it, can’t wait to get rid of Millenium err… Vista.

Update: They were right! The Windows 7 Release Candidate is now available for download here [microsoft.com].
