I installed the win7RC just for the heck of it. It's curious how in Microsoft's version of math 6.1 rounds up to 7 (possibly related to the way 65,536 sometimes equals 100,000). In a way I was pleased with it, since I was able to successfully disable/change everything I didn't like to make it behave more like win2k. (and BTW I had no problem using a parallel port game pad.) I was surprised to find that the ancient win3.1-based FTP program that I use still works.
Not-so-impressive is the fact that the bare OS consists of about 8x as many files taking up 8x as much disk space, and eats up an extra few hundred MB of RAM. Aside from that, I'm not interested in buying any software that requires activation.
