I know people who ran the Vista Pre-Release version, who upgraded to the RTM version. Apparently the RTM ran a lot slower than the Pre-Release. We've speculated that it's because the Pre-Release didn't have all the DRM turned on, but know one outside of Microsoft knows what the answer is. sprockkets,

It isn't like the RTM version is going to be earth shattering different. Well, I bet though it has a new startup jingle and new sound effects, but that's about it.
