Great, hopefully they fixed the part in the beta version that makes my PC freeze randomly.
Is this a finalized and polished release?
uhh i'll wait for adopters, i went through too many formats already.

No RC is the one before the "Final" Release to Manufacturer/Market.
It is about 95% final.

I am waiting for RTM myself.

The wife just installed it on her work laptop and seems to be working fine. No big updates to it. I'll just wait for it on Windows Update.
Good, I was tired of the loop I was getting on windows update, I got a notice for a sp2 beta uninstaller to prep for the new sp2 build a few weeks ago, then I would install that (effectively uninstalling the SP2 beta), then windows update would offer me SP2 again and I installed that, but then I got the uninstaller update again, I did this twice before I realized it was offering the same old SP2 beta build, lol!
I'll wait until it's the final build.

Just installed this. Slaps an Evaluation watermark on your desktop. Great.

Sidebar is broken
Windows Live Messenger is broken
I now have a "trusted installer" process running at all times

In other words.. don't download this people.

Finally, wonder how long until the final release (whether this is it or not) hits the updater.
works great for me.

Will Wait for RTM. No point in trying the RC if there is no massive amazing update.
