From what I hear from other beta testers (I don't test for XP anymore since I already signed up for Vista's)
- Improvement in hardware/sofware communication, thus faster performance
- Patches/fixes for bugs/holes
- Windows Genuine Update.

The last bit intruiges me. It's based on the Vista's version where EVERY copy needs to be activated online, without it windows will run in limited mode. It also blacklist many hacks such as Pirated CD Keys, Bios emulation (also for Vista), and timestopper. Expect pirated version to take a longer time before releasing this.

So if you don't have Internet you can't use it ?

it's the same with Vista actually. You need internut to verify than ur ready to go. But verification is easy. I verified mine on a dial up in just less than 10 seconds

What's the different between RC and General Release?

Does the RC works for a long time or just temporarily?
*

It's just a test run. 99% of what you see in it will be in the final product, but it won't be sanctioned more than the allocated time frame that microsoft gives you. Thus if you have any problem with RC after General Release is done, they have the rights to ignore you, altho that's rare
