Update: Added four screenshots. Update 2: Mandrake Linux 9.1 is out, read the PR, get it from mirrors, buy it or join the Club, from links found here.

>> Well, there are a lot of rumours about rc3 actually being the final... anyway we'll know beofre the end of the week, for sure
Yes RC3, is (almost certainly) final. That is how release candidates work, you put out a number release candidates, when you reach a candidate is as bug free as can be reasonably be expected it is promoted to final (that's the way it's supposed to work, it doesn't always happen like that).
WRT to all those who doubt that Eugina got the software a week early, because RC3 has only just been shipped, there is a lot more involved in making release than just bunging the software on an ftp server; web pages need to be written, internal tests need to be performed, lots of things I don't know about need to be done. It is very possible Eugina got the software a week early.
