    This close to the release, I'd say wait
    Just to be clear - what's offered as a RC via Windows Update is actually the RTM build (the build numbers match exactly and there is no timeout/desktop text). I've installed from WU and from a downloaded RTM from MSDN and they match.

    It's not listed as a RC any more, it's listed just as SP1.

    Oooh cheers. I'll add that to my next order.

    Is is 32-bit, 64-bit or both? Presumably just 32-bit as it's in the 32-bit section?
