Announcing Windows 7 Release Candidate

We actually managed to keep this secret for a little while, but the word is out now - starting today, MSDN and TechNet subscribers can access the Windows 7 RC release, with general public availability coming next week.

Generally speaking, the Win7 Beta that came out a few months ago was pretty feature complete, so the changes in the RC are primarily bug fixes and some UI changes.  There are a few new things to look out for though, like FireWire camera support, Virtual Windows XP, and Multitouch support.  Functionality to add Legacy Hardware is available too.

Here at Edge, we've been putting together some new videos with the latest news and info on Windows 7, so keep an eye out for that over the coming weeks.  In the meantime, there's lots of good Win7 content out already that you should take a look at, if you haven't already:
