Release Candidate

Definition: The version of a piece of software (typically an operating system) that is almost ready for public release, but might still have a few bugs. The software company counts on enthusiasts and vendors to attempt to use the release candidate as a final version to help identify bugs.
Usage: I've been running the Windows 7 Release Candidate and so far, it has been great.
