“So you don’t need rush to make sure you get your copy. When you’re ready to download the RC, it’ll be waiting for you.”
That’s a cut-and-paste from Microsoft’s emailed announcement about the upcoming availability of the Windows 7 Release Candidate. Apparently they’re worried that their servers — which I doubt are running OS X Server — are going to have a heck of a time dealing with the expected rush of downloads. You know, like what happened when the first public beta was released. Oh, and what happened just the other day when a considerably smaller set of developers were given access to the Release Candidate. It seems that people really want to get away from Vista… badly.
I think I’m going to wait a day or two to get my copies. Won’t you do your part for Mother Microsoft and delay downloading, too? No? Okay, good luck — and please put it on the torrents as soon as you get it!
