Hi Leon, yes, the RC is available only as Ultimate. As this version contains all features from the other "flavors" (Home, Prof...), it wouldn't make sense to test all of them separately.Mobile AMD64 3000+, VIA Apollo K8T800 chipset, 1 G RAM, ATIRadeonMobility 9700, 20x DVDRW, C:XPSP3 (55G),D:WIN7 (25G),F:DATA (250G)

Leon - Actually... There ARE people out there testing the other editions - from Starter to Professional. The Enterpriseversion beingthe same as Ultimate - except in licensing.They're not in the public pool of beta testers though. They're members of the TAP program and likely OEMs who are testing various flavors out on their hardware.As Sanmartin said, Ultimate contains all of the other editions' features. But I think it's a matter of simplicity. There's one version available for the general masses to test. If Microsoft were to say limit testing to say, Home Premium, there would no doubt be those who would want Professional. If they limit it to Professional, there will those who want Ultimate. So they simply made the Ultimate version available to cut down on any potential complaints. It also means that since the Ultimate version is out there, there's a better chance that ALL of the features in Win 7 are going to get tested by someone out there. Obviously, not everyone is going to test everything available.It's also a good bit of promotion - to show off ALL of the features. It gives people a taste of EVERYTHING the OS has under the hood. It makes sense...
