So far so good. I've put Windows 7 RTM on several computers so far; a few upgrades and a few new installs. Everything is stable and performance is way up over Vista. I'm starting to enjoy some of the new features especially in the task bar. I've installed both the x86 and 64 bit versions. Finally, the sound drivers don't skip in the 64 bit version. I can now feed my USB DAC from a 64 bit computer running Windows 7. Media Center is now built into most versions and I really enjoy the interface. It even works well with a remote.

I've been using the RC version for a while now. Definitely uses less resources than Vista and its more easily tweeked to control what comes up on system start. I also saw that MSDN will have it on the 6th. Seems, like I'll be doing some upgrades I have a media center setup that really doesn't cut it under Vista. I'm looking forward to the upgrade. The 64 bit version will now support HD playback natively. I'm going to give that a shot and see how it works. I'm also looking at Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I'm trying to keep it as thin as possible.

Hey Ari, Happy Birthday.
