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.

Tried Windows 7 beta. Playing around with Linux Ubuntu 9.04 now. Ubuntu startup 20 to 25% faster. Ubuntu much more stable than Windows 7. (Yes I now 7 is just a beta version) With Ubuntu 9.04 you can have 3D screens like you have never seen. Windows do have much more and better games. (Some two games for Linux came out that equal Window games, and not so expensive) Normal office enviromental usage very good on both operating systems. Linux software mostly free with lots of support. Windows 7 is what Vista should have been.
