After two weeks of leak drought, we finally have Windows 7 RC download leaked on April 24 at 12:57AM EST. The torrent can be found on all popular major torrent sites. The leak came just two days after Microsoft issued the RC to TAP Gold partners and OEMs as reported by Neowin yesterday. We’ve received confirmation from one of our forum members, wguimb, that this image is indeed real and being seeded by him. File image details below:

Confirmed by David our forum moderator.

Remember that you cannot perform an upgrade install with this build without modifying a file. It is recommended that you do a clean install. Microsoft urges users to do the same or upgrade from Vista. If you feel that you really need to do a build-to-build upgrade installation, go here and scroll down to How-To.

Microsoft accidentally put up a page saying that the RC will be released on May 5th earlier this week. However, wzor.net suspects that it will be publicly released after Microsoft’s TechEd event on May 15th. Windows 7 Center will keep you posted on when the official RC comes from Microsoft.
