We already knew the Windows 7 Release Candidate would arrive somewhere in May, but we now also have a release date thanks to a "slip-up" (you're not fooling anyone, Microsoft) on the Microsoft Partner Program website: Windows 7 RC will be released on May 5. Just so you know.

It's not about MS keeping us informed, it's about letting the public test it. If they want public beta testers, they should keep those testers up to date with new os builds.
Otherwise, we're basically forced to take MS's word for everything... and I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but I don't particularly trust words from the MS marketing machine. If they weren't serious about public testing, they should never have even opened it.

ya its a shame MS isn't keeping people up to date about the progress of Win7... oh wait http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/
anyways, the underlying driver structure and lots of other stuff is vista compatible meaning the OEMs, driver makers, software programmers, etc arn't going to have that hard a time, trust me i know. The polish on 7 is way! past any release to date that wasn't simple a second edition style release (no this is not Vista SE people).
ever recomplie (with the excpetion of one that threw back all sorts of build errors for me) has gotten better and better. I am not bothered in the least, this is the one that MS has put the most effort into on making it quality. They have to much riding on this to screw it up, even a little.
