i was lucky enough to download RC2 while it was available to do so.
i've not had any problems with this os and it's surprisingly fast.
the thing to consider though is, many defrag programs(diskeeper 8), utilities (such as systemworks 2003), and older office suite programs ( office 97) do not now work with this os ...for these types of programs, there will be an additional investment

If you had ran Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor RC, you would have known ahead which programs you have will not work with Vista.

Newly-released applications & utilities now carries the logo "Vista Compatible." Whatever it is I hope they are backward compatible with XP & W2K.

That is an issue to many. With this "upgrade" you will have to reinvest in many of the same programs that used to work fine.

It has happened with earlier version as well, but this will be more so.
