I've been running the RC now since it came out and I'm so impressed with it, that I'm getting it early with a TechNet sub! 
It'll be released for download in a day or two.
I've significantly reduced the effective cost of the sub too, by some canny buying and selling.
In the UK, Vista Ultimate SP1 full retail costs about £165 with a free upgrade to 7. However, 7 Ultimate full on its own is about £190. You can see which is the better buy, hehe.
Anyway, by eBaying the sealed copies of Vista & 7 I have significantly reduced the effective cost of a TechNet sub, which gives you so much more than a simple software purchase. I've already sold Vista on eBay.
The overall cost I will feel will be about £165 - the same as Vista - making the subscription element only about £100 or so, which is fantastic.
The sub is currently reduced from £285 to £240 with a 15% off offer on the MS site, which really helps bring the cost down.
Now I just have to wait for my TechNet sub to activate.
