Windows 7 RC1 vs Release

[leo2kp]

Has anyone noticed any performance gains switching from RC1 to the actual release version? How about functionality?

Very little!

Yea, I just installed the OEM and noticed very little difference too. It's still nice to have it though. I have noticed, however, that boot-up times are still fairly slow. It hangs for about 15s while it logs in to Windows every time :-/

I'll be upgrading from RC to RTM in about a month, and I'm really hoping it will fix one or two issues I'm having:

- my Quick Launch toolbar (on the Taskbar) disappears if I log out of my account (as opposed to just shutting down the whole system)

- my system occasionally fails to recover from sleep mode properly, requiring the machine to be power cycled (this one could be a BIOS firmware issue).
