Windows 7 RC Released to Public Today!

Today Microsoft has reached a significant milestone with the Release Candidate (RC) of the highly anticipated Windows 7 operating system, available starting from today May 5 on the Microsoft Windows 7 site. The RC milestone is a result of feedback from millions of customers and partners around the world. It indicates the operating system is entering the final phases of development and almost ready to be commercially available to public.

With the RC, Microsoft is also providing guidance on the minimum system requirements for Windows 7, showing that Windows 7 will work on a broader array of hardware than any other release of Windows at launch:

• 1GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor.
• 1 GB of RAM (32-bit)/2 GB of RAM (64-bit) .
• 16 GB of available disk space (32-bit)/20 GB (64-bit) .
• DirectX 9 graphics device with Windows Display Driver Model 1.0 or higher driver.

I'm going to download it today and test drive it! I hope it is better than Windows Vista.
