anyweb Posted May 5, 2009 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 A little earlier than expected, Microsoft has already released the Windows 7 release candidate to the general public.

The gathered telemetry could help in improving the upgrade process in the final release. more > http://www.osnews.com/story/21434/Windows_...eased_to_Public Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
