Microsoft names Windows 7 RC1 dates â€Ã‚¢ The Register :D EDIT: I guess I this topic would be more appropriate in the "Rumors and News" forum. I didn't think to check all the forum catagories before posting.

Hi there, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right forum... I have installed Windows 7 as my primary Operating System, and would like to ask if I'm able to upgrade the Beta to Release Candidate, and as soon as it is released to the full version of Win7? I really like the new features and would...

Hi everyone. It seems that we CAN use W7 until a retail version is released. Unless it was an almighty bo bo by Microsoft the 7057 build (best so far even in its X-32 incantation) doesn't expire until Mar 2010. If the official RC1 expires before that I'm sure there will be some...

I have to say that the Windows7 beta1 has been a wonderful experience. The installation was a snap. The 32bit version found all the drivers it needed. With a few very minor rough edges, like not remembering to show my thumbnails extra large, it works amazingly well. I feel more comfortable with...

Has anyone had as many crashes with the RC1 SP1 Vista candidate as I have. I had 2 and gave up. If they are going to release the RC1 for real in Update, that's better than having to rebuild this beast , every two days.:mad: Just wondering if I might get the Same results with the real release?
