I've tried RC3.
There probably won't be another RC (since the updates/9.1 folder is in place and already filling up) and that's a shame.

I've tested it on a Dell Latitude laptop.

Alsa wouldn't start at boot time. Starting it from the config manager fixed the problem (now it starts fine from boot).
KDE hangs when trying to browse the /mnt folder. There is only a couple of Windows folders there. Gnome has no problem with this.
The windows graphics are corrupted (Leaving dotted trails, top of the window has streaks)

I hope those are just KDE 3.1 issues that are fixed with 3.1.1
