774503 2009-05-17 01:59:00 Is there much difference between the windows 7 RC and the beta (build 7000).

I'm tossing up whether or not it's worth downloading the RC from MS.

774504 2009-05-17 02:04:00 Well the RC will probably look / act more like the final, (than the beta), when its released. Its been updated since anyway. So a few bugs in the download version, maybe fixed in the later release (which you cant download). Speedy Gonzales (78)
774505 2009-05-18 02:07:00 Downloaded it a couple of days ago. Seems quite nice in most areas but I hate the new taskbar Agent_24 (57)
774506 2009-05-18 04:52:00 There are some (suttle) differences. If you have Aero enabled, try using Alt+Tab in the RC, for example. ;) pcuser42 (130)

You can revert it back to normal I think if you want.

There are a few refinements and additions though.

Which is OK until you realize that most of your tray icons for programs (like windows live messenger) have been replaced with big huge taskbar buttons that waste space.
