According to Russian website Wzor, Microsoft has updated its
2010
Technical
Adoption Program schedule and has provided new dates for major Windows 7 builds
among other Microsoft products.
As of now, the latest build of Windows 7 is 7061 which was
released on March 11th. Microsoft plans to send internal Release Candidate
builds of its upcoming operating system to select testers in the last week of
April. Meanwhile, the public will receive Windows 7 RC1 and Windows Server 2008
RC2 during the last week of May.
Microsoft's delay of the Windows 7 Release Candidate build
won't necessarily push back the final retail release, but will merely give
testers more time to point out problems and provide feedback. There are a handful
of new updates expected with the RC build over the current beta builds which have
been detailed by the company
here.
