Too right! Ars' article has a great pictorial on what has made the cut for 7057, and indeed most of it is exactly as Microsoft described in their talks about RC features. Thanks, Ryan!
As an aside, I am really enjoying 7057. It installed faster than 7000, the new features have improved my workflow, the erratic hard freezes I was experiencing are gone, and general polish just seems much better.
Probably the end of April. Ahead of 7057 there are three new builds at 7061, 7062 and 7063. The most recent one has a March 13 compile date, I believe it is.
I also believe that Windows 7 is moving into code escrow (no new features added) at the end of March, which makes sense if they plan to RTM it in the September - November timeframe.

It's hard to believe we're still in beta.
