Did an image of my drive (XP), and downloaded and burned the RC2 iso.
After removing the one program that I had problems with under RC1 (it's an
HP ProtectTools program), started the upgrade.
It went flawlessly.
The only complaint, is the time (one hour and 25 minutes).
And the Synaptics touchpad driver is 'jumpy' so am using the basic drivers
from Vista.

This is running on an HP Pavillion dv5100z with 1GB ram; 2.2 Semperon; 128mb
ATI X200M (integrated), and a Hitachi 7200rpm 80GB disk; Lightscribe DVD/CD

Even Nero 7 Ultimate (latest ed) is working. The only program disabled was
HP's Rapsody Music. All hot keys, Quick Launch buttons, work fine.

Notice a definite improvement in performance.

So far this Ultimate Ed is performing well.

is there a rc2 ???

I just installed RC2 on a 2nd hard drive, dual booting with XP Pro. SO far,
I am really impressed. The guts of the OS are much more gear toward advanced
system users, which makes me happy. Still poking through all of the new
stuff, pretty cool. Only problem is my older geforece ti 4200 doesnt support
directx 9 so I havent been able to play with aero glass. But I am checking
egghead.com as we speak for a new graphics card
