Upon further use.......I still like Windows 7. The RC seems to be a little "heavier" than the beta, so it's not quite as "snappy" as I initially experienced with the beta, and this is on a faster machine then the beta was on, but I'm still a happy customer.
I haven't had any driver issues, and haven't had any other issues to speak of really, other than the typical change management issues one experiences when using a new OS. You know, the typical "Crap I know where that link was located on [insert other OS/software here]....now where is it?!" moment that one has when using an updated piece of software.
Anyway, I've had a few people ask how to get their hands on a copy, so without further hesitation, here's the information on downloads and other stuff:
Get the RC here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx
Main points of info
1) How long is the key good for?
June 1, 2010
2) What happens then?
You will need to upgrade to a newer version of Windows 7 before then (generally the releases go Release Candidate (one or more) -> Final version).
3) Can I upgrade from the beta release to the RC, or from RC to Final?
Yes, with the workaround discussed here, but let's be honest, I wouldn't recommend it. By 2010, you'll be needing a fresh reinstall anyway.
4) Where can I get an antivirus program that works on Windows 7?

5) Will my Vista drivers work on Windows 7?
Yes.
