You're probably right, it's likely that very little will change between this release candidate and the final build. I've been running 2006 since beta 1, and it's incredibly fast, responsive & solid. Doesn't feel like a beta at all, so this release is shaping up to be a good one. -AT
We had some 2006 RC2 DVD's floating around, but it doesn't look like the mirrors are carrying them. Regardless, the content is the same.
