    Keep Galaxy S2 or buy iPhone 4s?

    I found a pretty good deal on a 16GB Black iPhone 4s for $450. I currently own the S2, which i'm pretty happy with, but I have the itch for iOS again. I already own an iPad 2, so it'd be nice to "sync up" apps. Am I crazy for wanting to switch?

    Windows 7 build 7100 vs 7600

    How big of a difference have you folks noticed between the two builds? Is it a big enough difference to warrant ditching the RC and installing the RTM ASAP? The RC has been solid for me, but I'm deciding whether to bother downgrading to Home Premium once it arrives from Amazon tomorrow.
