Will Rimward be available as a free PDF like the other books? (Keeping in mind, I've bought every hardcover so far, and will be buying this one, but some of my players are unemployed atm...)

Rimward is Creative Commons licensed, as it says on page 3. :-) Remember that being CC-licensed is about way more than being allowed to download it for free -- it's about being allowed to hack/remix it and redistribute those hacks.
If you've bought the Rimward PDF, you can absolutely hand it out to your players. Our stuff always has a quick legal notice, usually in the first 3 pages, with the info about whether it can be shared or not. :)

Thank you.
I bought the core rulebook, gm's screen and Gatecrashers on rpgnow.com and was just about to make several more purchases, but you've beaten me to it. Be assured I'll purchase a copy of Transhuman as soon as I see it hit.
Thank you for this.

One more thing however:
I realize that it isn't for simple free distribution - and the studio needs to be supported.
I'm a longtime anarchist but I still believe to some extent in intellectual property - else how does the thought-worker subsist?
So far, I've been referring my potential players to download the free .pdf available on rpgnow.com (which seems to be a condensed main sourcebook). I gather from your response above that giving copies of .pdf's (of sourcebooks) to players is a non-sequitor? I would think it inappropriate and unnecessary in any case; once the Transhuman book is available, they should be able to navigate that element in the fictional universe sufficiently for a player anyway.

You can give full copies of any Creative Commons-licensed Eclipse Phase PDF (currently, that is all/any of them!) to anyone for free, providing you credit us and don't deny the person you give it to any of the CC-granted rights (and denying them those rights is virtually impossible).
