For anyone out there using it, how is it?  I just did my final upgrade to Windows 7 and am a little hesitant toward installing test software.

This is the first time in years my PC is being used for personal stuff instead of testing... and I really like it! ;D

Hello gangsta, hope you are well.
Umm, how stable is "seem quite stable" ha ha.  ;)

Before I install on my main system - I have no test machine - I would value your opinion as to whether I should install firefox 3.6 beta 1 now or wait for an RC version.

I have used FF beta versions in the past - but not on a Win7 system.
Please tell me what you think...

I would recommend looking into setting up a virtual machine on your new win7 system fo doing these kind of testings.  Taking advantage of the no key required installs and ability to re-arm in windows 7, you can use your windows 7 copy without the need to activate it in the VM.  Creating base client OS VMs is very easy and free *legally*.
