I hope its better than beta 2 which i heard it was supposed to be alot better. but I hope I have a better experience with it than beta 2 because the apps in beta 2 and the ones I installed (nero, ms office 2003, gmail notifier and windows live messenger) all seemed to crap out after a certain time. And it even managed to mess around with one of my completely seperate drives somehow and I lost alot of my files. Anyways I am probably going to order rc1 on dvd if it is available.
