The thing is that most online publications, including us, linked to the official Windows 7 web page, meaning that the servers could get bogged down. If that happens, you could use the TechNet and MSDN servers as an alternate source of getting your Windows 7 RC fix.
After you do get the Windows 7 Release Candidate, you will undoubtedly burn it onto a DVD and install it on your machine. During the installation process you will asked to provide a product key; the installation process will not be hindered if you do not provide one straight away, but after 3 days the OS will prompt you about activating your Windows 7 RC version. You could get an activation key from Microsoft, or you could just take a look below.
