Microsoft leaks Windows 7 RC delivery date

It's coming May 5 for partners, before that for MSDN, TechNet subscribers

Microsoft will deliver a release candidate of Windows 7 in little more than two weeks, the company's Web site revealed Saturday.

According to a page posted on Microsoft's partner program site, Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) may be available to paying subscribers to Microsoft's developer and IT services before May 5. Partners will be allowed to download the release candidate on that date, the first Tuesday of the month.

"Partners: If you have a subscription to MSDN or TechNet, you can download Windows 7 RC now," the page read Saturday afternoon. "Otherwise, you can download Windows 7 RC starting May 5, 2009."

The link to the download, however, shunted users to the TechNet download page, which did not list Windows 7 RC as one of the available files.
