Looks like Microsoft decided to pull the trigger just a hair early on this one. Windows 7 Release Candidate 1 is now available to the public at large. If you haven't gotten your hands on it, now's your chance to try it out well into 2010. What are you still reading this for? Hit up the read link to download.

I don't think the latest bootcamp has the win7 drivers yet.

There have been instructions on how to install Windows 7 using Bootcamp from the beta days. Maybe those instructions are still valid for RC1?

To those who have installed this already, any feedbacks on the drivers?

actually i ran this win 7 in bootcamp. only problem i have the first time is the sound driver that is not working properly...it is common problem in Mac when trying win 7. (but there is a solution.)

The solution to the sound card problem is by downloading a the lastest sound driver in Realtek website.. www.realtek.com/downloads/

it looks good and fast in my macbook.

EDIT:
I have finish downloading it for approximately 3 hours.

Windows 7 RC1 doesn't expire until June 1, but we found a catch, and it's a pretty horrible one. Starting March 1, it'll shut down every two hours.

Watch the calendar. The RC will expire on June 1, 2010. Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you'll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. You'll also need to install the programs and data that you want to use.

Really? Really guys? You know, if you wanted us to stop using RC1 on March 1, it'd be totally fine to just have it expire. That's cool. The trial's over, time to move on people. But turning the entire OS into a crippling piece of harassmentware? Way to turn something awesome into a huge douchebomb moment for yourselves.

Anybody feeling brave enough to move their clocks up to March 1 to see what happens?
