I’d have to say, the release version (and also the RC) is great! I don’t see any problems if you’re willing to do a clean install.

The only reason I had my problem was because I was trying to upgrade a RC to final (which is not supported officially by windows).

Thats why I am not yet going from Vista to 7. I’m scared I could kill my computer when the latest 7 version is not the final version yet. Maybe I’ll take this step soon.

It gets there, although I got stuck at “42%” when moving files over after Windows 7 forces a reboot.

I had to cancel the install. On the positive note, it restored my original installation without any problems at all.

I’m reattempting the install again from the very beginning.

I’m at the same problem now…stuck at 18%….let’s hope that you are correct about it proceeding on its own!
