1176863 2011-02-10 22:07:00 Thats the Release Candidate (RC), not the RTM, the RC is still not fully finished.
I have Win7 home premium 64-bit OEM with SP1 Release Candidate. I remember reading that SP1 was available for OEM versions of win7 to download now.

Does the RC version need to be uninstalled prior to downloading and installing the full version?

Yes you will need to remove the RC version before you can install SP1 RTM.

1176867 2011-02-11 01:29:00 It was available last month see this thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) and Wainuitech posted the link to the RTM That was a typo -- My bad :crying -- It was the Link to the RC. By the time I discovered it, the edit had run its time.

RTM = NYA

The same page to download the RTM will be available soon - Re the page:

Note: The Windows 7 SP1 RTM download link has been removed at Microsoft's request and will be added back as soon as Windows 7 SP1 is officially released.
