Windows 7 RC, Vista SP2 Hit Microsoft’s Private Servers

The official Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC)-the same build 7100 that leaked earlier–and the final build of Windows Vista SP2 have hit Microsoft’s private servers, and are now available to eligible users, specifically:

• Microsoft Connect subscribers: members of the closed beta program
• Technet and MSDN subscribers: paid account holders (accounts start in the $2500-range)

Subscribers are experiencing some difficulty getting through to the servers (which are apparently overloaded) to download the new releases.
