Windows 7 RC scheduled for release next week
In a blog post this morning, the Windows 7 team announced that the release candidate is on track for an April 30th release to MSDN and TechNet subscribers. The general public will be able to download and install Windows 7 RC on May 5th.
If you have a beta version of Windows 7 it won't expire immediately. But if you want to keep testing the pre-release version of the next version of Windows for free, you might want to take the RC for a spin. Microsoft has been working hard on bug fixes and changes since the first Windows 7 beta was released in January. At one point, Microsoft was receiving a new note from the "send feedback" feature in Windows 7 beta every 15 seconds.

well my laptop is starting to act up again and probably needs a fresh install of Windows. maybe i'll just try 7 on it instead of XP since i really do want to try this OS.

Great news! Will be the first one to get a copy...
Getting BSOD on Win 7 bets (Build 7000) on Acer aspire one netbook. When I run it for a few hours (Only Firefox), I get BSOD, then after using Repait disk it works fine for some time. Then the same BSOD.
Any solution ??

Get a newer build and use the drivers listed here: http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=10036
My AA1 with Win7 kicks WinXP's can.
