So far I have been running RC1 64bit for several months and never looked back.
Runs great on the Core I7 quad core and everything seems well polished for a beta.

I'll be buying 2 copies of home. Vista 32 was not worth it, and removed it from the laptop as well.

FYI - comodo (inexpensive) firewall and integrated virus checker has worked flawlessly. This is on a 64bit system.

Took a while to get mysql running on it, as well as PERL
