April Showers Bring Windows 7 Flowered Desktop
Looks like the cat might be out of the bag for Windows 7. Mary Jo Foley and Ars Technica are reporting on a slip of the ol’ upload key that got caught. Looks like Windows 7 Release Candidate 1 will be release in May 2009. This will allow for plenty of “testing”, not like there hasn’t been tons already, before the Christmas buying season.
Looks like Sindofsky and crew are going to pull this one off. Good job guys.
Microsoft posted prematurely a download page for the Windows 7 Release Candidate and — gasp! — one with a date of May 2009 attached to it.

Tons of details and information on Ars Technica:
The Windows 7 Release Candidate download page on TechNet has made a premature appearance, much like the beta download page did before the beta was released to the public. The public RC will apparently be coming in May 2009, and not in April as previously rumored. The RC testing program will be available at least through June 2009, and the actual build will expire June 1, 2010.
