Anyone install the new RC of Windows 7?

Curious if it works with W7.

Been running RC1 X64 since day one on my game box. No issues. Windows 7 sees the resolutions no problem by default. Only the matrox software to scale the windows to a single monitor would be needed if you wanted that ability. Resolution changes and default monitor configs (if you have more than one) are now handled directly by the OS so bear that in mind. All games work great in windows 7 on the th2g.

I'm running the build right before the RC. It takes 5040x1050 only if I run the Matrox Wizard. After rebooting it defaults back to 3840x1024. It will see 5040x1050, but when trying to set the resolution it only sets to 3840x1024.

It's not leaked, afaik. It's just a slightly updated version with more hardware compatability.
