It appears to be so as there is talk of it being released in August. I was very happy with the beta version and I am sure I will be with this rc version.

I saw that August release somewhere too but also saw that this RC was gonna be good for about a year until sometime in 2010. That's kinda strange for MS to let people chug along for free after the final release is in stores.

Download and install IMGBURN----> ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download)
#1 - Download the Windows 7 Beta 1 .ISO file!
Well duh! Save it somewhere easy to get to (like your desktop).
#2 - Download and install ImgBurn
http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/win7_burn_to_dvd_01.png (http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download)Rather that try muddling through with burning the .ISO file with whatever tools you might already have installed, download ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download) and use that. That way we’re all on the same page!
#3 - Burn the .ISO file to DVD
OK, pop a blank DVD into your DVD writer drive (for now I’m assuming that you actually have a DVD writer, if you don’t I’ll show you something else you can do in a moment). With that done, fire up ImgBurn. Select Write image file to disc.
http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/win7_burn_to_dvd_02.png
Point the Source to the .ISO file you downloaded and then click on the big button at the bottom-left of the window to kick off the disc writing process.

And then after a short wait, you’re done!

Now you’ve successfully burned the .ISO file to the DVD … congratulations!
#4 - Use the DVD
Make sure you have a partition available for Win 7 on your hdd and run the dvd from windows to install.

Or... If you have Image Burn installed already just locate the .iso file and double click on it and when Image Burn comes up hit the burn button. :D

Jeffro, thx bro, you can install from within xp or you can install from boot optical drive.
@Rogue, sry Chica, Win 7 took a dump on me while i was moving some install files around for benchmarking. Its o.k. tho cuz I think its good for you to learn how to unfraq an operating system and install shiznit ur damself :D
Included is the OCA/OS and the WIN7 32bit and64bit iso's.
Rig is ready for pickup or drop off, lemme know :cool2:

Nah... i'm just full of it most of the time.
RC1 works pretty good, but Vista always worked really well for me too possibly even better.
7201 has been out for awhile now too.
