I read a lifehacker poll about current 'working' OS, and the percentage of people using the RC as their primary OS was quite surprising. Hopefully it's a good sign of things to come. Perhaps Windows 7 will be to Vista what Windows XP Service Pack 2 was to Windows XP! For some reason I'm not surprised about the MS Bluetooth mouse though. I've come across weird things before where MS products don't work on MS releases, similar to how Windows Update didn't work on Internet Explorer 8 and popped up a message saying you must use Internet Explorer 6 or later. Nice one. Interesting to hear that you've already migrated to a release candidate – not the first story I've heard of this.

I have already migrated my work to the Windows 7 RC1, although I still left the Vista partition intact. So far, W7RC1 has been great on my Fujitsu laptop, except that MS Bluetooth mouse (ironically Logitech's bluetooth mouse works!). If Windows 7 is released later this year, as reported, I'm probably going to buy myself an early christmas present...LOL. yup…the experience with Windows 7 beta was far better than Vista beta.
