It was recently announced that the Opera 10 release candidate is now available for download. If you’re a fan of the Opera web browser and want to give the latest version a try you won’t want to miss this release.

Below Opera comments on some of the features found in version 10’s RC:

Opera 10 features Opera Turbo, the new bandwidth-booster for slow Internet connections. It also features a significantly improved Opera Mail, Opera’s built-in e-mail client. Tabbed browsing enters the next phase of its evolution with resizeable [sic], thumbnail tabs. The upgrade of Opera’s Speed Dial now gives users a chance to personalize their favorite online destinations and the overall look and feel of their start page.

It was also made known that the official Opera 10 release will be on September 1st.

Microsoft has just sent out a friendly reminder that those currently running the Windows 7 beta or are looking to get their hands on the RC, better act fast.

Starting on July 1st the Windows 7 beta that was released some time ago will begin rebooting ever 2 hours and on August 1st be rendered completely useless. The RC on the other hand will work until the operating system’s official release.

So again, if you’re running the Windows 7 beta, switch to the RC, and if you haven’t downloaded the RC yet and want to, do it now.
