br0adband Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 What's the point of installing every single leaked build? The RC works well and mostly stable (the only issue I had were two BSODs, each after exiting TF2).It's good enough to last until the RTM release. If you really have to ask that kind of question, you'll never understand it... for those of us that like being on the bleeding edge as it's called it means we get the jump on the very latest additions (if there are any), bug fixes, improvements, etc, and we get more experience with the product in general. We also tend to be the people that end up being called upon to provide answers since we are so involved in such products. Hell, I've already lined up over $125K worth of service and support work through the end of the year (not that I've been paid yet but but but... the work is now contracted so it's practically guaranteed) just for Windows 7 adoptions. If I wasn't so on top of things, and if I couldn't sit down with a client and show them I'm on top of it with a laptop running Windows 7's "latest" build, and that I know my way around the OS like I was born to it, then that work wouldn't exist and those contracts wouldn't be signed. The majority of people do this stuff for fun, as a hobby, but a considerable amount of us like being on that bleeding edge because we actually can and because it translates into wealth. Tony Robbins once said "Your wealth in this lifetime is determined by the value you provide to others," and so far, my wealth - with respect to Windows 7 - keeps accumulating. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoy clean installs every few days more power to you. I will wait for the RTM as I am tired of re installing everything. I don't do upgrades.
