Microsoft Could Announce Windows 10 Release Candidate at Ignite Conference

Microsoft is holding its Ignite conference on 4th May in Chicago, and it is strongly rumoured that the company will use the event to unveil the first Release Candidate of its in-development operating system, Windows 10.

Windows 10 is currently in Technical Preview stage, available for testing to members of the Windows Insider Program.

Previous Windows Release Candidates (RC), or Release Previews (RP) as Microsoft has taken to calling them recently, were released at a similar time of year, with Windows 7 RC1 made available 1st May, 2009, and Windows 8 RP on 1st June, 2012. However, since Microsoft is aiming for a late-Summer release, its turnaround seems to be accelerated: the full retail versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8 were released 22nd October, 2009 and 30th October, 2012, respectively.

The Microsoft Ignite conference is aimed at IT professionals, and will be laden with Windows 10 content. Scheduled sessions at Ignite related to Windows 10 include:
