Usually my biggest fear with a new Windows is that it will be months before I can successfully turn off or uninstall programs like those and delete forced folders that keep reappearing.
Well, My Documents is technically just a folder for you to put documents in, so that would definitely still be on your hard drive. Media Player 12 does come with the RC, but I use VLC for most of my media files, and have had no real trouble with changing the associations. I refuse to use internet exploder since the disgusting thing that is IE7 came out, and was able to install firefox without any problem whatsoever. Windows Live messenger does not come with the RC of 7. In fact, as I use messenger so rarely anymore, I haven't installed it on 7 at all yet.
