Im Sick of doing fresh installs, and reinstalling my programs
Your specs say you're on the RC and if it's not broke dont fix it.
There isn't a whole lot new and if you have all your programs and most importantly all your drivers i say stick with what you got

Totally up to you....I just finished doing an upgrade from 7137 to 7201....about 1 hr 30 minutes in total.
Start time is a bit better from press of the button to password prompt is now 47 seconds vs 62 for 7137. Shutdown is the same....22 seconds.

This way madness lies.
I've done 5 fresh installs and 2 upgrades in as many weeks.
I've quite gotten into it but I can't remember what I use to use my computer for.
If I were you I'd install it immediately but I'm not in full control of myself so hey!
Cheers, john

It doesn't come down to a "new install" either as it was an upgrade.

I have installed 8 different Windows 7 versions in both the x86 and the x64 platforms on 5 different computers from the netbook - laptops and Desktops from old to new (P4 to C2Q) but I do know what I use them for, TESTING only    .
I have found many bugs and instability issues from mainly the upgrade process, but some from the fresh install as well. And more than 90% of the problems that I have debugged have been related to "VISTA_DRIVER_ID's".
I really hope that MS will fix the driver issues and stability problems before the final RTM release, Otherwise I will not buy my copies till they are stable.
My work requires a very stable OS (my Workhorse is Win XP x64) on my Big Box.
Otherwise, I will stick to Win XP.
sincerely
