You MUST be a marine to admit here that you're on a Microsoft email list.

Be sure you scan it.  Computerworld is running an article about infected Win7 release candidate downloads.

Pirate Bay doesn't count. ;)

I have only 3 I would trust. Technet, MSDN, and MCT/Partner site which link back to the other 2.

Hehe, here's the email I got from Microsoft...

Windows 7 Release Candidate Announcement

Thank you very much for your help in testing the Windows 7 Beta. Your feedback is invaluable in helping make Windows 7 a high quality operating system. With your help, we have reached the next major milestone on the journey to Windows 7: the Release Candidate (RC).
-
   
On April 30th, the RC became available to MSDN subscribers and TechNet Plus subscribers.
-
   
On Tuesday, May 5 (PST), the RC will be available to everyone via our Customer Preview Program. As with the Beta, the Windows 7 RC Customer Preview Program is a broad public program that offers the RC free to anyone who wants to download it. It will be available at least through June 30, 2009, with no limits on the number of downloads or product keys available.

So you don’t need rush to make sure you get your copy. When you’re ready to download the RC, it’ll be waiting for you.


To get the RC please use one of the following links:
-
   
Developers
-
   
IT Pros/Microsoft Partners
-
   
Tech Enthusiasts/Consumers


IMPORTANT: If you are running Windows 7 Beta you’ll need to back up your data (preferably on an external device) and then do a clean install of the Windows 7 Release Candidate. After installing Windows 7, you will need to reinstall applications and restore your files. If you need help with the installation process, please see the Installation Instructions.


If you’re running Windows Vista, you can install Window 7 RC without having to back up and reinstall your programs and data. But to be on the safe side, please do backup your data before you start.


Please note: All users of the Windows 7 Release Candidate (including Windows Vista users who have upgraded to the Release Candidate) must do a clean installation of Windows 7 RTM. Please keep this is mind as you consider downloading the Release Candidate as opposed to waiting for the general availability release.


Thanks again for your help in reaching this important milestone. We hope that you will join us in testing the RC and finishing Windows 7!

You are receiving this important message about Windows 7 because you downloaded the Beta or RC from either TechNet, MSDN or the Windows web site.

Right under developers are the three links, didn't go in and grab the HTML code, but you get the idea.

Been using it for 2 weeks now.. more stable than beta version.. still lacks in backwards compatibility, which is why I am augmenting it with Virtual XP.

K, I'm trying to DL it to my macbook pro, but I just end up on  web page that says "Test Drive the Windows 7 RC" with a constantly running circle of green dots.  Am I doing something wrong?

But tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?
Tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine, and I'm pain free, you jab another pin,
Jab another pin in me
