I downloaded it and installed it this morning. Other than the new wallpaper, not much new to see.

I'll let Paul check these last few builds out and let us know if there's any significant changes, the RC build works great and there has been word of some infected versions being seeded.

MIcrosoft trying to bribe people to use IE8. http://www.microsoft.com/australia/ie8/competition/ Here's $10,000 if you use this inferior browser. Install Silverlight for a shittier experience.

Dancostea, Its great that you are enjoying Windows 7 RC and I have to agree with your decision. Many of the "leaks" are truly "pre-releases" that have security holes and malicious software bundled within the download. Also, for those who are still new to Windows 7, Microsoft does have a site with whitepapers, tutorials, walkthroughs and screen casts on all the “under the hood” features in Win 7. Check out the Springboard site for Windows 7 on TechNet here http://tinyurl.com/832nco Jessica Microsoft Windows Client Team

Hi Paul. Love your work. No really .In your opinion which (@ this hour) is the last legal rc build and /or best to grab b4 rtm? I do not want to get stuck with a 90 days evaluation build. Keep up the great stuff. Looking forward to next WW. Regards, J23

@realtestman: "robertsjoe coming up with his usual off-topic comments, AGAIN. Useless." Do you READ the comments? 99.9% of them are off topic. Most of them by @mikegalos.
