I think the majority of members here are satisfied at the moment with the 7000 build. Being the official release from M$. And will wait until the RC comes out officially from M$. The subtle few differences in the 7022 build probably won't cause much confusion in solving problems, although it does cause confusion when members don't fill out their specs to say what build they have and/or even if they are running 7 at all and are just asking questions about it until it they buy it.
Of course it is. It's a smart thing to do if you want help to be as specific as possible in everything, especially your specs.
In addition to the various reasons for the installation / or not of unofficial builds we all as members of the forum have to consider Rule 7

I can confirm 7000 upgrades to 7022 just fine. I had a few problems to start with, I would keep getting to end of upgrade then it would fail and revert back to 7000.
It turned out the problem was with Norton not fully being removed from system before hand.
Just an extra note. The new Norton 360 Beta2 and now Beta 3 is not compatible with Windows 7 v7022. It is fine with 7000 though.
I have spent the last 6 hours coming to that conclusion along with a couple of tech guy's from Norton.
It just fails to accept a key or to activate. This is probably why the inmstall failed.
I do beleive there is also a problem when upgrading with the onboard HD audio device. I found more reliable if you uninstall drivers for this then re-add after install finishes.
Appart from the above the release is rock solid.
