Apparently some wires got crossed at M$ and some M$ofties posted a date for the Win7RC release…
One has to wonder just how much of an accident this was, though, since a technical release presaging the RC is already floating around. Still, it’s nice to know that the very first release of a new OS from Microsoft that’s held any sort of positive interest for me may well be on track for a Q3 RTM. Oh, it’s not quite good enough to pry my hands off Ubuntu (or perhaps another of the ‘nix OSes I’m still trying out–like Linux Mint or even–if it matures quickly enough–LinuxMCE), but it looks like an excellent candidate for a HTPC I want to piece together this summer, especially if the TVServer portion of MediaPortal works out well enough. (Still testing/trying that out on Win7 beta.)
Anywho, it would have been nice to see the actual page while it was up, but at least there’re text/screenshots at the link. Missed it by that much.
