    Meh don't notice much difference in speed myself, but it installed ok, and I removed the watermark thingie. ^_^ lol

    I don't think it will time out until June according to a google search, and by that time the final SP1 release will be out... (they did same sort of thing with the windows 7 public beta)

    The ISO filetype isn't one you can run, it's a CD/DVD image, besides... why download the ISO when you can download just the relevant install executable. (all the ISO one is, is both 64 and 32 bit installers put together)

    had tw probs extracting
    then thought i had it fixed when i successfully downloaded it
    cuz is ISO you must put on a disk
    when i run from dsik it takes me in a circle to put it on another dsik using the ROXIO utility
    think ill stay with winows OS progs to extract it and will rety tomorrow. wish me luck. The other non-ISO updates went w/o a hitch

    did NOT make my system any faster !!!
    the part that I hate...
    puts a Very Large stupid rubber stamp at the bottom of your screen that says
    "Windows 7001 Evaluation Copy"
    which means that it will time out and stop working in 90 days

    Its made my HP Mini 110 Netbook on Windows 7 Stater run about 50% faster. Not found any problems yet....So, so far so good.

    I'll also add that Internet Explorer 9 is running better with SP1 RC too.

    I have not tried, I would ask first.
    what's in it including the KB971033?
    I tried a beta version, and it turns out there is KB971033.
    whether in rc is the same.
