The Windows 7 Release Candidate has been made available by Microsoft for Technet and MSDN subscribers. Users with a subscription can go to the Technet or MSDN portal and download the release candidate of the upcoming Microsoft operating system where it is available as a 32-bit and 64-bit download. The public availability of the release candidate is expected on May 5 when users from all over the world will have the opportunity to download and test the Windows 7 Release Candidate.
The following links point directly to the release candidates at both the MSDN and Technet websites.

Probably even more important than the availability of the release candidate is the confirmation that Windows 7 will be released in the Holiday season by Microsoft Senior Vice President Bill Veghte. The release date was one of the best kept secrets with rumors ranging from an early 2009 to a late 2010 release. This essentially means that Microsoft will release the next Windows operating system in about six months.
