Windows 7 Release Candidate Leaked (Before May 5th)

Folks,

Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) has been leaked on various P2P Networks. While you might find it difficult to resist the temptation to get your hands on this long awaited and most appreciated version of Windows from Microsoft, it is however advisable that you wait until May the 5th 2009 to get the genuine (but free) one. Did I say genuine? Well, critics are not yet sure if the version available on P2P Networks is really genuine or not.

Oh boy! I dunno whether I'm gonna wait or not... Hey where's that ***rrent icon man??? :P

Windows 7 RC Coming in May...

Acording to ArsTechnica, Microsoft has mistakenly revealed the realease date of Windows 7 Release Candidate and that is May 2009. Along with the release date there is some other useful information like it will remain availalbe for download on Microsoft Download site till June 2009 and this downloaded version will expire in June 2010. According to my previous blog and others as well, this RC was expected during the first week of April 2009.
