Is anybody going to be downloading this?

Probably not,  but I can bet alot of virus/mallware writers will

That's what i was thinking. I know people who are getting it, i'll see what they have to say first.

I've been running it since yesterday (5th) on this machine.

I wanted to just give it a try. So I did a backup and downloaded it that morning.  My experiance so far has been up and down.
I run an nvidia raid.. it picked that right up without needing to load drivers... yay
It only took 19 minutes to quick format over the c: partition, install, and boot to the win7 desktop... cool
The desktop is sleek and stylish with neat effects, oh my!
I proceed to load up the nvidia video drivers and logitech drivers for mouse/keyboard. Logitech's drivers and programs installed fine using the Vista 64 version. Nvidia's just released drivers for win7 rc loaded ok.

So far pretty good .. heh
Enabling SLI in nvidia control panel seemed to almost hang the system up completely, but it came out of it's coma and enabled it.
I have three seperate partitions on the raid and keep games/most programs on something other than c:.. this made it easy .. so i go to steam and run the repair on it so it updates it's version.. worked as expected as well as the steam games (most).
I went to my quake2 folder and started it up... has a small audio problem that i havent tackled yet.
Crysis has yet to render a visible display for me yet. :/
So far two games have problems. One is audio related, one is video.  I download nTune to enable the performance options in nvidia control panel... and here it comes:  Blue Screen of Death ! As soon as I clicked on the gpu clock settings tab the very attractive windows 7 desktop turned blue and rebooted.   Also the logitech software is buggy with it, the dpi changes and the mouse seems to reset when you try to save changes...annoying.
Hopefully some of these problems can be worked out soon. Thank goodness for acronis

And so it begins...

maybe they should work on turning off all ports by default since they can't seem to stop remote code exuction over ip without even being authenticated first......
