Microsoft is now allowing the public to download the release candidate of their latest operating system Windows 7. I’m about to download one as well and this will be my first time to use an operating system in its release candidate form from Microsoft. I’m excited!
Head over to the Windows 7 RC Download Page if you want to try it.
Here’s the minimum requirements for Windows 7.
- 1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
- 1 GB RAM (32-bit) / 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
- 16 GB available disk space (32-bit) / 20 GB (64-bit)
- DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
The RC will be available at least through July 2009 and we’re not limiting the number of product keys, so you have plenty of time.
