Just got build 5744 completely (x86).  It's marked as RC2.

• Daemon Tools works well.
• Install is fast
• All my devices work, and are supported properly.  My IBM ThinkPad needed the IBM a/b/g wireless drivers from OEM, and the IBM Power Management driver, also from OEM.  Everything else is working out of the box.
• Shell is nice and snappy.  Nice UI.
• I put MaxiVista 3.0 beta build 22 on this machine - and with 3 monitors, this build has allowed me to completely replace my previous development environment.
• I can do everything I need to do - at the speed I'm used to - on this build.  No annoying bugs encountered so far.
