Tony, Can you elaborate on the problems you are hitting that weren't resolved by the additional patches? What's some of the critical major pieces that you believe are missing?
I've been running VS 2010 pretty much since we started it and I can tell the latest builds are enormously better than the RC.

That said, Microsoft often have extra RCs internally before RTM anyway, so hopefully that has resolved most of the issues people have, although it's not until it's in widespread use that people often find any real problems. I still have an expectation that the process will be relatively easy - if it's not then the added features won't be enough for us to upgrade unfortunately. I certainly don't want to lose even one man day per person in my team just because of a shoddy release. And if it's a couple of days after we've upgraded before we find real problems, then we're going to be pretty peeved - the rollback to 2008 will be more painful than the upgrade I think.
