I have installed the Windows 7 RC on my main computer. Everything works at least as good as in Vista, fast and stable.

However, there is only little glitch that I came about, which can be solved very simply. Somehow, when putting my computer to ‘Sleep’, it would power back up after a random time interval. I believe I used to have the same problem in Vista, and it can be easily solved. 

In Device Manager, select your network card, and make sure that it can wake-up your computer only if it receives a magic packet:

With this setting enabled, my computer can now rest ( and more importantly myself ) at night, without being waken up
