The chaps at Neowin have
gotten some dirt on Microsoft's Windows 7 RC schedule from a "trusted
source:" they say the first Release Candidate will officially come out on April
10. This purported deadline might slip, of course, but Neowin claims the Windows
team "is right on schedule with development" so far. If things keep chugging
along at this rate, it sounds like Windows 7 might be ready in time for the
summer. At least, Vista took just over two months to go from RC1 to gold
statusa similar schedule would pin Windows 7's completion in mid-June.
Considering how reasonable good the beta was. (it's still beta after all). I'm
actually looking forward to the RC. I might even start using it full time and
the only other time.
