Update: They’re all gone. Sorry.

Microsoft sent me eight packages containing official DVD copies of the Windows 7 Release Candidate. It appears to be 32-bit (x86) only.

I don’t need them, but I figured some of my readers might, so I’m offering them up here. If you’ve got a low-bandwidth connection and you don’t want to go through the hassle of downloading and burning a DVD, this could be useful.

Conditions:

1. U.S. addresses only. These are U.S. English copies and I don’t want to mess with foreign postage. Sorry.

2. You have to go online and get your own product key. Instructions are in the package.

3. No tech support is included. ;)

To qualify, leave a comment below. Use your real e-mail address when you comment (otherwise how can I contact you to get shipping details?). In the comment, include the Windows 7 feature that you are most interested in learning more about.

    I’d love to get a copy of it! Im here in Wisconsin.

  • RL says:

    Ed, will pass on the DVD, so strike me off the list. As far as articles. something in depth about Media Center and Digital Cable Tuners.

    I have been curious about the complete plans on how CableCard tech will work on 7. With Vista it took a specialized version of the OS only available to special OEM’s. What’s the plan with 7?

  • Jimmie Tryon says:

    I would love to have a copy. Thanks!

  • Lee Jones says:

    The Windows 7 feature I want to learn most about is the virtual wireless adapter. Since someone already said that, I am also interested in Win 7’s handling of HDCP and other DRM. I do a lot of presentations with video clips, and I don’t really want DRM to stop me from making a visual point.

  • Nathan G. says:

    I am interested in using Media Center as well as the new streaming features in Media Player.

  • Briggs says:

    Great blog, Ed. I’d be interested in one of those RC DVDs you’ve got. Thanks for your consideration!

  • Richard Perez says:

    I am most interested in how it allows you to use a full version of XP that is built in to it.

    Ed,

    I’m a 63 yr old man, retired from a software company that would
    interested in a dvd copy of Windows 7 RC. I’m currently running
    Windows Vista.

    With my contract with Verison Broadband ” wireless ” we are
    limited to 5gb of data a month and the size of Windows 7
    could put me over the limit.

    I would greatly appreciate a copy of the above software !

    Thank You,

    Gerald Landrum

    Hello Ed,

    Thank you for the offer of the dvd it is much appreciated since I only have a dialup connection. I have been interested in seeing if it is really faster then Vista and more reliable as stated.

  • TJ Ginis says:

    I’m looking forward to the superbar the most, but I also am looking forward to the overall speediness of the machine, as compared to vista. Not to mention the advancements in stability.
