I used Vista Beta 2 and the RC1 for a while on my newly built PC. I enjoyed it for the most part... only because it was something different. I ended up buying an OEM copy of XP Media Center just so I could actually play some games with my powerhouse PC. The copy of media center offered a free vista upgrade rebate which I sent in and finally received the disk last week. The sad thing for microsoft is... I don't know that I'll ever install that upgrade. Not for a while at least. I've already got an OS installed that I'm familiar with and that works just fine for everything I want to do. Why would I go through the trouble to upgrade now? From my experience with the Beta 2 and RC1... I can't find any real advantage in doing this.
