[HEXUS]

Windows 7 RC will be pulled from Microsoft's servers on August 20th, but there's still time to bag your free copy.

If anyone needs a copy I have both 32-bit and 64 bit RC burnt that I'm not using. Happy to pass them on.
NB - I've not loaded/tested either, so no guarantees !

Since the downloaded iso is the same for everyone are we free to distribute it to people who need it because MS are still offering keys?

Nope. Distribution is prohibited by the EULA unless you are authorized to do so

Ah OK fair enough. Thanks.

The release candidate can still be gotten as a torrent, not sure if its legal to share it in this way though...

It's not. Not that I think MS would bother, but they could.

Ah crap, I knew there was something I forgot!

Oh well, will have to wait till it's released, it's just a shame, would have been good on a media centre build until the retail release.
