But then I guess they're sending out rather a lot!

Got to admit, it seems even faster than Beta, IE opens in a fraction of a second and is so quick, oh and I just noticed its rendering this page perfectly instead of how the Beta IE would do. The backgrounds are nice too.
Best of all daemon tools now has a version that works with Win7, PowerISO was good, but froze up every time I would right click an ISO.

Booted from the DVD, wiped a partition, answered a few questions and left it. Came back later - all done.
(Totally clean install of the 64-bit version)

I'm using Gizmo that I found shortly after installing the beta. Did a fresh install of RC1 last night and it was flawless. Still got to load a lot of my software back on but I must admit I'm really quite fond of Windows 7.

That skin they use in the SS looks really nice and probably useful, I still can't get used to not having the Windows 95/98/Me menu, and I know older people who'll not like it either (first thing I do since XP is change it to classic).
I'm not going to overload it with software this time, rumour has it that Win7 will be released in Q4? Probably in time to catch the Xmas market and having to do another clean install will really make me sigh, so I'm going to go back and play Fm2009! Already got Torquay into the Premiership, I give it a few seasons to pick up reputation and cash before I start to make a push to win!

October has been mentioned quite authoritatively; personally I think it could be even earlier - 3 months after RC = August.
Microsoft and the hardware manufacturers must be seeing a huge drop in sales due to this, after all who would want to buy Vista now?

Quote from: dgwebb How do you find Gizmo compared to Daemon Tools, Bob?
Seems to do the trick for what I've used it for (which is v.little tbh). It doesn't have the encryption stuff that Deamon Tools does.

/edit - Bob, one for you Plusnet guys to be aware of. Playing with Win7 it has wonderful trouble shooting options:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting
It can detect plugins that have caused IE to stop working, clean up stuff in start up, loads of stuff that would make finding problems with the internet much easier for your tech guys. It's already disabled two IE plugins (from f-secure) that had caused IE to stop responding in the past 7 days.
I so can't wait for this OS to go Gold

One thing did surprise me - I installed it as a dual boot with Vista and the Windows 7 installation found my home network and connected to it without me needing to do anything other than define it as a home network for permissions
