Filed under: OS Updates , Windows , Microsoft , Windows x64 I could swear it’s still March, but according to a Technet post I’m either very wrong or Microsoft has learned how to manipulate the flow of time. A document showing a publication date of May 2009 has appeared and reveals new information about the upcoming Windows 7 release candidate . While the date reads May, there’s no confirmation of the actual release date. It makes sense that the page’s publication would coincide with the release, but since this looks like a slip up there’s no cause yet to assume that p revious reports had pegging the RC as coming on April 10, 2009 are wrong. In the release, Microsoft states that the RC will be available at least until the

end of June and there will not be a limit placed on the number of product keys. Testers will be able to run the RC for a full year, until its expiration on June 1, 2010. The download will be available in five languages: English, German, Japanese, French, and Spanish. Don’t get too excited by the download selectors at the bottom of the page. They don’t work yet - obviously the time slip is only document-related and doesn’t affect ISO files.
