As you may have heard, the Windows 7 Reelease Candidate is now available to MSDN, MSDNAA and TechNet Subscribers, and the general public.

 Some things to be aware of with the Windows 7 Release Candidate:

• You must do a clean install of this release.
• Please plan ahead for Windows 7 Beta and Windows 7 RC expiration dates. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to rebuild your test machine using a genuine version of Windows 7 before the software expires. Windows will remind you when the expiration process is beginning; two weeks after this notification your PC will begin shutting down every two hours.
  • Windows 7 Beta expires on August 1, 2009, and bi-hourly shutdowns will begin July 1, 2009.
  • Windows 7 RC will expire June 1, 2010, and the bi-hourly shutdowns will begin on March 1, 2010.
