Internet Explorer 7 RC1 next week?

Microsoft looks to be pushing ahead with their November 14, Automatic update.  RC1 looks to be coming this week... good news for 3 quarter automatic update.  From what I understand from the needed timeline, it looks like IE7 will be released in Late September - early October and the Automatic Update with the November Hotfixes.  More details at the HOTFIX.NET.
