Anyone try Windows .net RC1 yet?

Im using it on 2 servers at home...seems to be snappier than 2k server was on the same machine (150mb used out of 384 compared to about 185mb used on 2k server with the same apps/services running).
The setup 'tips' and 'help' info was much better..I seemed to have no problem installing AD and DNS on the .Net version when I had several DNS problems on 2k server.
-I like it
 
I'll be able to download my copy of it this week hopefully. I'll be Ghosting my server and the putting it on there and see how it works. Win2k Server has been very stable for me. Hopefully .NET Server is also. I'm looking forward to IIS 6.0.

 
By default, it installs nothing, so the server itself with a little setup, can be a "black hole" on the internet. Great for perimeter/DMZ servers, at least until any new exploits are conjured up.

I haven't played around enough to see what IIS6, etc is like though.

The Task Manager now shows users logged on the server, and nic interface usage meter, which is neat.

 
What about upgrading from Win2k or NT server? Does is automatically lock down everything like a new installation or does it keep open what you had before?
 
I was going through the services to disable some I know arent needed..noticed that some of the ones I would disable (that were enabled on 2k server) are already disabled on the.net server
 
I just upgraded my 2k server to .net RC1 and I'm getting a Page fault to small or nonexistant error on boot up. Anyone else seeing this bug?
