Vista - Vista RC1 Build 5600

Just wondering........I've been trialling RC1 Build 5600 for about a month
now, so far I've had about 60 major bugs (problems) granted some of them are
recurring, but no solutions have been forthcoming for any of them.......how
close to the final release version is RC1?

I think I'd be wary of the using the final release based on my experience so
far, not trying to be all "doom and gloom" but seeing as the release date is
getting closer and closer I was hoping some solutions to these problems would
be available by now......can anyone enlighten me?

......plus RC2 is later than RC1.
theres meant to be a noticable (performance?) positive increase with
with RC2. much like there is positive increase in RTM over RC2.
rc2 is out of date now tho - RTM is final and is being 'shipped'.
basically RTM is what your gonna see in stores in january.

From reviews of the RTM I have been reading, such as at
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=35700
they seem to feel that the RTM is much better than the RC2, which was better
than RC1.
I had some bugs disappear when I updated the display driver with the RTM
version from ATI.
I am using Vista RC2.
