Just something from my own experience multibooting with the RC that I thought I'd bring up.

If you would rather not use BCD to manage your multiboots, install the RC on a seperate physical device to your grub/lilo/etc install's partition.

Though grub was recoverable after installing the RC, every time I booted into 7 it reset the HD's boot flag to its own partition, meaning that the next time I rebooted it went into BCD instead of GRUB. I couldn't find any way to stop this from happening, so I just installed it on a separate HD and used the bios boot order to ensure that grub was entered first.

Other than that, loving 7.
