Microsoft plans Windows 7 RC for May
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft will deliver a release candidate of Windows 7 to the public in late May, according to a report from a noted Windows Web site.
Pirated post-beta builds of Windows 7 have also been regularly leaking to the Web. The latest, build 7057, reached BitTorrent last week and contained references to "Release Candidate 1" in its end-user licensing agreement.
While Microsoft has not promised that it will issue Windows 7 RC to the public, Steven Sinofsky, senior vice president in charge of the Windows engineering group, has repeatedly hinted that it will do so.
