I'm seeing on other sources that the Release Candidate is actually released on MS Download today -- anyone else hear this or try getting it?

For starters, would you mind telling us the filenames and exact sizes (in bytes) of the x86 and x64 image downloads? Or even preferably, would you mind providing MD5 sums? (I'm more interested in the x64 one)

I can actually answer this one myself This Microsoft TechNet page

shows all the official Windows 7 RC downloads including their SHA-1 and CRC hashes (after clicking on Details). As you can see from the following screenshot, the SHA-1 and CRC hashes of the leaked RC versions,
7100.0.090421-1700_x64fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRC1CULXFRER_EN_DVD.iso
7100.0.090421-1700_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRC1CULFRER_EN_DVD.iso
are the same...

I've got the official RC from work now, so I'll be installing it on my desktop and laptop this weekend.

edit: I'll also say that the leaked RC looks identical to me as well. Same exact byte count for the iso's, though the names are different.
