System Center Essentials 2010 Release Candidate now available

The folks on the System Center Essentials team just announced the availability of the SCE 2010 RC over on their blog:

We’re very happy to announce that the Release Candidate of Essentials 2010 is now available.

The download package is in 4 self-extracting files which need to be unpacked to the same folder (e.g. c:\Essentials). The total download size is about 5GB.

Once you have downloaded the RC and extracted the installation image, double click on the SetupSCE.exe and install.

Note 1: If you currently have the Beta of Essentials 2010 installed you will need to uninstall the Beta before installing the RC.

Note 2: If you currently use Essentials 2007 you will not be able to upgrade to Essentials 2010 RC.
