Windows 7 Media Center

I'm about to install Win7 full time, most likely, until I can purchase it and from what I hear I shouldn't have a problem with it. I haven't heard much about MC on it and about to install it using a Hauppauge PVR150 and/or an HVR1800. Anyone have any problems with it so far, preferably with said hardware?

If there are any upgrades to it for security or performance, is MS planning to release them for the RC? If you can't convince me not to install it, see you on the other side.

Most likely Microsoft wont be sending updates for the release canidates like they do for XP and Vista, but rather release a new version of the candate itself. I'd have to say that if there are Vista drivers for your hardware then there is a chance you wont have hardware compatibiities for Windows 7, but as this OS isnt 100% completed, your mileage may vary.

Ok, I'm on Windows 7 as I speak. I'm very happy with it so far and no problems yet after setting up MC. Although it records in wtv format, I hear there's a workaround with, I'm sure, easier ones in the future.
