Though nobody is 100% sure at this point, it's my educated opinion that you will not be able to upgrade from a release cadidate to the RTM.

I have a strong hunch the above is more then likely so .

Agreed, I very much doubt that you'll be able to upgrade from the RC to the RTM..

If you don't mind my asking, why are you worried about it? You have lots of time between now and when the RTM is out to back up all your personal files.. plus a clean install is ALWAYS the better way to go in my opinion.. Especially when going from RC to RTM.. or even RTM to Retail for that matter..
