I may not bite..
Downloading RC1 right now, got the notification from MS at 6 am. The first release to the CPP took several tries to install and when it finally did, I used it for 1/2 hour, rebooted and could never access it again. The Vista newsgroup msg I posted went unanswered. I ordered 2 DVD's from MS and have never installed them. I will give this download one more chance and if the install is as problematic as the 1st, I'll only buy it when I start to get customers (friends) who are running it.
