SL3 was released today, July 9th. Just shows that you shouldn't take rumors for granted.

I think SKETCHFLOW is the tool that is in RC perharps?

I think this is the release, because it works with the Silverlight 3 developer tools. If it was an RC (internal build for partners), then the assemblies would complain and not work.

The Silverlight.net site still says Silverlight 3 Beta, but all the links are updated...the RC is probably just a typo (or left behind).

The title on the download page is "Microsoft Expression Blend 3 + SketchFlow RC" - it's not clear if the RC applies to just SketchFlow or both Blend 3 and SketchFlow - does anyone know for sure?

Why do you say RC? It isn't a release candidate...its the full version trial.

Alright, let's hope that the Ars Technica date is real then :D

How about this. In one of Scott Guthrie's webcast slides, the host mentioned that Tim Heuer will be doing a SL3 webcast on July 9. If you follow Tim, you know he's doing a great job disseminating useful information about Silverlight, almost as soon as whatever new comes available. I would bet that the July 9 webcast is about something new... RTW? It was also mentioned that there will be "a lot of other talks on Silverlight 3 comes July"... This, coupled with the fact that two SL3 books are coming out in June (one from L. Maroney who works for MSFT) and three coming out in July, you get the idea :D

P.S. the webcast happened yesterday, you can download and listen to the 90 minutes talk, very informative... SL3 RTW will have multi-touch and definitely will have ClearType support.

I wouldn't read too much into the release data of the L. Maroney book. That is Introducing Silverlight 3. The Introducing Silverlight 2 book came out June of last year as well, way before Silverlight 2 was actually released. I haven't seen anything to contradict the Ars Technica date yet.
