A little earlier than expected, Microsoft has already released the Windows 7 release candidate to the general public. The Redmond company had already put the RC up for download on TechNet and MSDN, but from now on, everyone can download it. I've already updated all my Windows machines to the RC, so let's take a quick look at what I found. Note: The Windows XP Mode beta is also set to arrive today, but has not yet been made available. We'll update this item accordingly once it's released. Update: The Windows XP Mode beta is also available. Get it now!

Like most probably a vast majority of people, I will
let the early adopters and gamers embrace the Win7 cause.
Once they have sorted out the remaining bugs, security holes, unwanted behaviours, etc.
... Maybe one day, I will buy a new PCs for my two kids, and if it appears to run Win7(SP-2)smoothly, okay let it do it.
Ho and needless to feed the troll, I have XP (4 Kid's games), Linux (To develop for my company), and FreeBSD for sensitive data (Net-Banking, family photos/vids, personnal web server, etc).
It is just common sense for an IT person: use the right OS for the right thing to do.
Let the major companies (like mine) adopt Win7, they will analyse how much it costs, how it is secure, what it brings.
To sum up my point of view, the best policy on Win7: Wait and see !
