I installed from the RC2 iso this afternoon. Also a smooth install. I did not select the desktop from the initial install, but rebooted. After booting, I ran sysinstall and added the KDE desktop from the configure submenu. I got the standard installation without any problems. I did note that the ERRATA page still contains 4.6.2 info, but I assume that is the last thing updated in the release cycle. Congratulations again to the developers, release engineering and all contributors on an outstanding job putting 4.7 together!
