Well, Tom, the good news is that Windows 7 RC will keep working just fine until March 1st of 2010. The bad news is that you will need to do a fresh install when you switch to RTM/Final come late July or October 22nd.
Wzor.net's information has been wrong before, and we all know that timetables can and do shift. I'm not holding my breath. Just last week Wzor was claiming final RTM build would be the 26th of June. Per this new time-table, 26th would fall during the Pre-RTM build recalls and assembly of the RTM. Microsoft has stated the second half of July publicly as when RTM would be done (see their press release blog) and I'm more inclined to believe that. It gives more time to find some final bugs that might be an issue. Yet it still gives plenty of time for manufacturers to get their code in shape for the official release date, and to system builders (HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc).
Am I excited? Yes. I am eagerly looking forward to the official release, and then even some new hardware built up for the new capabilities to be released. Do I believe this time table? No. It will shift again as it has in the past.
