Windows 7 for free until march 2010

Windows 7 is free until March 2010. Sound great?

Microsoft want his new OS to be the best and after free BETA version download ended with great results a Release Candidate version of Windows 7 is availble to download until March 2010. After that a computer with Win7 RC will restart after 2 hours of activity.

What you need to know?

  • there is not limit of the number of product keys
  • is not recomended to be installed on a computer for real work becouse Win7 RC is not the final version and can have hidden bugs.

Now Win7 RC is free but there is a catch, you need to test your copy for them.

How do you test the software? You put it on your PC, and then do what you’d normally do. Your PC will automatically and anonymously send our engineers the information they need to verify the fixes and changes they made based on the Windows 7 Beta tests.

So if you do not like to be spyed dont install Win7 RC. Of course they get just tehnical data, errors and stuff not web pages you access, porn movies you watch and other stuff.

For try Win7 you need to have al least this configuration:

  • Internet access (to download Windows 7 RC and get updates)
  • A PC with these system requirements:

    • 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
