Thread: What's New in the Windows 7 Release Candidate

Changes in the Windows 7 Release Candidate consist mainly of interface tweaks and minor changes to security and networking features.

But Windows 7 RC also has two significant new features that weren't present in the beta version released in January: Remote Media Streaming, which enables users to stream media to pcs outside the home; and Windows XP Mode, a controversial addon that runs Windows XP apps in a virtual machine.
