Windows 7 RC Going Public

May is going to be a rather busy time for me this year.  Aside from the normal outside chores that occur this time of year, I have a daughter being married in a few weeks, and moving a kid back home from college.  As a result, I’ve been taking a few days off recently (and more to come) from writing and other things WHS.  I may simply be a bit sporadic this month.

So, of course, all sorts of news bits will surface as a result.  One of those tidbits of information is that Window 7 development seems to moving along at what seems to be the speed of light (Microsoft light-speed, that is).  It does not seem that long ago that the Windows 7 public beta began.  Only 4 months later, Windows 7 Release Candidate was released to MSDN and TechNet subscribers on May 1st.  And with a public release scheduled for May 5th, it is almost a certainty that Windows 7 will be the hands of the retail outlet long before the end of the year.

Why would a WHS related website find this news?  Simple.  As Windows 7 goes, so does WHS v2.  I have no idea what the lag time time is between Windows 7 and WHS v2, but I hope that it will be a short time lag.

I guess we will be all have a better idea of that when we start hearing about public beta releases for WHS.

Hello. I’m from the heartland of U.S. Lots of corn and beans, although Iowa is a lot more than just farmland. It also has a few computer enthusiasts (no, not me!). I’ve been around PC’s since I got my 1st PC XT aloooong time ago. WGS is one of the first sites I found centered around WHS. And the best. Every once in awhile, I do get away from the KB and enjoy time with and my wife and our 4 kids. And I do have a day job.

    yes, it is more than time for news on Vail!!
    it has been anounced more than a year ago and still nothing is known about it.
    it has more media-center stuff… but that can mean everything…
    i think they should come out with some specs, then i know if it will bring me the features i want or if i can forget it

    now that Windows Server 2008 R2 is out and that likely is the base for the next WHS things are moving on. Both Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 share the same core OS
