It's not worth installing Windows 7 RC now because Windows 7 is coming out so soon. (Doesn't the RC get deactivated in August?). Also Windows 7 is coming out in October. Wait until then to get the actual thing.

The RC stops working in April next year...
As for what to do in your case, well, if you are going to the trouble of re-installing anyway why not try out Windows 7 and see how you get on with it. If you don't like it switch back to whatever else you want. Of course, this does mean that come April you will need to re-install again, but by the sounds of it you probably would anyway.

Oh, okay. I didn't want to look up that date. What I meant to say was that regardless of what you do, the RC will be deactivated some time in the future and there is no easy upgrade path from the RC to the release (MS has already said that). So it will be a pain come next April... Just wait three-four months and install windows 7. It has a really easy upgrade path from vista anyways, so if you want, install vista now and upgrade in October.
