Eventually, yes. When it's been released and is ready to go. Stay tuned to the forums here and the Windows 7 Blogfor more information as it develops.

Thank you, WolfieI signed to Microsoft Connect and maybe i'll get invitation . .Regards Aleksander

Cool.. Good luck with that!

Available in Microsoft Connect but not in my TechNet subscription?W7 Beta running on an AMD Semprom 3200+ (1800Mhz) with 2 Gbs of RAM and a built-in Nvidia 6100 VGA, and mate, it runs like a charm! And now on my VAIO FE31M Laptop.

It will also be part of TechNet and MSDN subscription. Whether MS Connect or Technet/MSDN will receive the build first, we don't know. However most probably the RC build will be released one day after the other program/subscription.Jabez Gan [MVP] - http://www.msblog.org Contributing Author for: (Sybex) MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-643

John, you're a straight-shooter. Maybe you can clarify a point that I feel you might have hedged a bit.I previously posted:What makes anybody thinkan untestedWindows 7 RCeven exists? Itis all rumorat this point. Be a sport and help Microsoftout. Downloadthe well-seasoned Vista SP2 RCinstead. It will make you feel good to be of service.You followed with:The RC build of Windows 7 doesn't exist on connect neither is it likely to until, possibly, a short time before the public release is made available. When the public release is made available all interested partied will be able to test it.My question now:Do differentpeoplewith different Connect accounts get different levels of privilege and access?
