Earlier today on the Microsoft Partner website, it was stated that the official public launch of Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate) will be May 5.

The website initially stated that MSDN and Technet users could download the release candidate immediately and that the public would have access on the 5th of May, but after clicking through only Beta downloads were available from the download page to both forms of users.

The page has since been taken down, displaying only Beta information.

The May 5 release date seems to coincide quite nicely with a Technet page that Microsoft put up a little too early, which hinted at a May RC release. The page has also since been taken down.

They just seem to be coming quicker, even faster than Build 7057.

The latest version of Microsoft’s next operation system has been leaked onto Mininova, this time version 7068. The build date is known to be 21 March 2009. That’s around a week ago.

DownloadSquad even considers the possible fact the Microsoft themselves are responsible for the leak, or at least deliberately not noticing due to the high interest the leaked versions are generating:

The newest leak comes less than a week after 7068′s build date – March 21, 2009. How are the files getting out so quickly? I have to believe that if Microsoft isn’t responsible for the leaks themselves that they are, at the very least, more than happy to turn a blind eye.
