Sweet, I haven't really been keeping up with the new builds, anyone want to enlighten me what, if any, major changes have been made between the public beta build and the RC?

Yeah, either that or be at TechNet. Those are the only legit ways.

Update: It looks like my original guess was correct: MSDN and TechNet subscribers will not be getting access soon. A few faithful readers got this quote from the Microsoft Online Concierge Chat: "Currently the Windows 7 RC has not been avaiable through the TechNet subscription yet, only the Microsoft OEM partners such as Dell, Siemens are taking part in the RC's this period of test." This matches what I've heard from other sources (which is why I put the question mark in the title), so despite the grammar mistake, I believe this information is correct.
same source as the OP

The download link is up on the partners site but still not showing on the download page yet. I don't think it will last very long in the wild before it gets leaked when it is available though.

I've still yet to try Windows 7. I'm waiting for a final release.

I need machines that work and I'm unwilling to prat around with a beta. Beta software is fun to knob around with, but a beta operating system?! Hell no!!
But now it's finally coming to a closure and we reach an almost finished product, I'm starting to look a little more enthusiastically about lobbing some beta software at my unsuspecting PC.

When I click on the download link, it takes me to Technet, but I do not see Windows 7 RC
