I guess that I am among the lucky ones, as I am now downloading the release candidate for both x86 and x64 (build 7100), with the optional language packages for both builds (English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish). As a technet plus member, I get access to evaluate Windows 7 a week before the public. Also MSDN members have gotten access to these builds.

Microsoft had problems with the huge interest for the RC, and I simply couldn’t access the download site the first 4 hours!
