I've experienced a few issues with image mounting software, other than that, it's been rock solid.

Unless you're ready to, and interested in testing Windows 7, compatibility with your software, and reporting bugs. It probably isn't for you. Even the RC may not represent the final product. It definitely shouldn't be used as a stable OS replacement on your only computer.

It's all part of my devious master plan, you see, first convince people that I'm reasonably knowledgeable, then take over the world! mwahahaha.
Although, It runs faster and more stable than Vista for me, and for most people that are using it. In which case, using at as the main OS isn't such a terrible idea
PowerISO is supposed to work, but i haven't tried it myself yet.I've experienced a few issues with image mounting software, other than that, it's been rock solid.

edit: Mebbe not, it's not free, hmmm, i'll have a look for the one that is...
edit2: Virtual CloneDrive works

Except for the fact its not a stable build.
Little things like the networking have known issues. Whilst its little more than a service pack, it is still more than just a service pack and changes have been made which can break things.
If its your ONLY OS/PC its not worth running the beta.

Yes, and having your operating systems installer service randomly break and blocking software updates to fix it, isn't exactly stable either.
Really? I thought that was just a 'feature'

That way the only software installable is malware. Win7 could be the first malware-only operating system evar!Really? I thought that was just a 'feature'
I thought that was Win ME...
...Oh wait no... that was just crap

Also i've got strange issues with WMP and some codec's.
Still not been able to fathom, because it was able to generate a thumbnail, play the audio, but the video doesn't do anything.

I've been running at at work for a couple of weeks now - the only things i've had to do were the MP3 fix (hotfix) and delete a registry key (fixes installer woes). Other than that, it's been 100% reliable and will stay as my primary OS at work for some time to come

That was just malware full stop

I like some of the UI tweaks.
Allowing progress bar apps (like file copy) to act as progress bars when minimised is clever. Allowing you to override what the shutdown button does (unlike vista) is about damn time.
