Using Windows 7 RC

Last month my son and his family moved in temporarily while he finishes school and prepares to start a career. Ubuntu Linux was on my main desktop as always, but the kids were more comfortable with Windows so I set up Win 7 and dual booting. Subsequently, I've been using Windows 7 for the last 5 weeks or so and have really enjoyed it. I miss the flexibility of Bash and my console, and it's definitely not as fast as the Ubuntu 9.04 I'm on right now, but all in all, it is really slick. I don't think I love it enough to buy an upgrade though, so I'll probably remove the Windows partition by March 31 when the nag-ware phase of the Win7 RC begins. I think I'll also get a MacBook by then as well, so I can see for myself if the Mac experience (and OSX) is as good as some say.
