Looks like the first usable C7 builds were around the 18th (didn't realize they were out, just decided to check) and sound a little rougher (at least when first released) than SL7.  However, the C6 builds took a very long time compared to SL6...

One question...  Is it expected to be able to upgrade to non beta from the current alpha, or will a reinstall be required once it is out of beta?
