So, starting today, we can finally grab the RC from the web. Since this is just a test version, the system will automatically send anonymous telemetry back to the engineers at Microsoft. If you spot anything that needs fixing or improving, let them know... that way, they’ll have several more months to polish these new Windows updates and roll out the final version early next year, which should run flawlessly without any issues.
So, I am currently in the process of preparing to rebuild my PC. It’ll be running an ATI Radeon HD 4870 with 1GB of VRAM, 2GB of RAM, and an Intel Core 2 duo e8500. Hopefully, that configuration should suffice for high settings...
Can I actually run the games I'm playing right now on XP—like, say, PES 2009, Mirror's Edge, BioShock, and so on—on the Windows 7 RC? And more importantly, am I going to notice any real difference in terms of performance or overall quality?
