Think I said before that I liked the new interface. It is mostly eye candy, but I'm good for a little eye candy occasionally.
I found some more things on installation that I like.
First of all, I didn't have my activation code handy when I installed, and RC 2 let me move forward. It warned me several times to make sure I picked the version of Vista that I had purchased (Home vs. Business vs. Ultimate -- there are 5 in all). I had the Ultimate key, so I picked that option. The install completed, and I used the newly installed version of Vista to look up my key on MSDN. I found Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System Information > More Information, scrolled down, entered (actually cut and pasted the new key). The system took the key, activated my copy of Vista. And all is well for now.
I'm writing this to you on my newly installed copy of Vista.
Now for more testing...
