Microsoft offered Windows 7 Release Candidate download earlier this month. For those who still feel like downloading it, here is your last chance. Only two days are left to download in the download as it is available until August 20,2009. After that, you can still install the RC and you can get a product key if you need one.
So if you want to grab your copy of Windows 7 RC, here is the download link.
Please also note that RC will expire on June 1, 2010. Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you'll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. You'll also need to install the programs and data that you want to use.via microsoft.com
