All About Microsoft posted a news story that Microsoft made the Release Candidate (RC) test build of its Dynamics CRM 2011 offering available for download as of December 14

This is a publicly available RC and “will be available until the RTM (release to manufacturing) release scheduled for Q1, 2011,” according to a blog post on Microsoft’s Dynamics CRM blog.

The RC is the last test build Microsoft will make available externally before the CRM Online version is released to the Web in January, and the on-premises version is RTM’d in the first quarter of next year, officials said.
