I think it is the release candidate and they update it regularly...

More likely to be up-to-date than a DVD on the shelf at PC World that was burnt three months ago...

They are rechargeable and automatically charge up whilst the PC is on. 
Mine isn't. It's one of those dirty great lithy liffo watch batteries the size of a half-crown. Had to replace it in the spring.

There is a special offer for Windows 7 until, I think, the end of next month. An attempt to bury Vista prolly.
