Just a little reminder – Microsoft will be making the Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) available to the public starting on May 5th. The RC is currently available now to MSDN and TechNet subscribers (and of course folks on bittorrent have been playing with it for days now).  Here’s what’s new in the release candidate of Windows 7:

• Remote Media Streaming – allows secure remote Internet access to home-based digital media libraries from another Windows 7 based PC outside of the home
• Windows XP Mode – A new virtual environment allowing Windows 7 users to run Windows XP within a virtual environment provided by Virtual PC. This mode is available to Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate users
• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor – helps analyze PCs in their upgrade process to Windows 7

Of course, Windows 7 also features numerous enhancements and bug fixes since the Beta release back in January. Stay tuned for our coverage of the changes made to Windows Media Center within Windows 7.
