In terms of what? I've just been using Word and Excel so far and it's been fine.
I haven't tried any custom apps/macros yet if that's what you're wondering about

tried the 7077 build of Windows 7, hated it. biggest pet peeve is that Microsoft completely removed the classic start menu. i loathe the XP and Vista style start menu and just want my same old simple list of folders, but now they won't even give me the option. it also wouldn't boot up unless the install DVD was in the drive (it would give me a black screen "winload.exe has failed digital signature verification" error if it wasn't) and the final straw was that Daemon Tools doesn't work on it yet
i'll give it a shot at retail release if they include the classic start menu, but if they don't then i guess i'll just stick with my tuned up copy of Vista

I like Vista's start menu way more than XP. You don't have to navigate through a bunch of menus to get to your program, just type the program's name in the Start Search text box.

Just incase this affects anyone.
Our company released build7068 for download, however now an email has been sent out that indicates that and upgrade to a licensed version will not be possible and that...damn mofos.
This is a very important question, because Windows 7 Beta and Windows 7 RC each have an expiration date. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to rebuild your test machine using a valid version of Windows before the software expires. Windows will notify you that the expiration process is beginning and two weeks later your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. The Beta expires on August 1
Beta expires on August 1, 2009, and bi-hourly shutdowns will begin July 1, 2009. The RC will expire June 1, 2010, and the bi-hourly shutdowns will begin on March 1, 2010. In both cases, you’ll need to rebuild your test PC to replace the OS and reinstall all your programs and data.
