This only apply to those who were invited...I downloaded the RC...I guess im not getting it for free...

I reckon that they deserve it.

[I will be more than happy to pay for Win 7 Ultimate, knowing that it has been thoroughly tested by a lot of our Forums experts / geeks.]

I'm not sure. I signed up through MS Connect and have received tester email from them. However, it was still not from a invitation. Time will tell I suppose.

A guy over in the thread for this on the Seven Forums has posted a screenshot of what the mail looks like that tells you about the free copy you can receive.
