- I'd have to completely disagree with the "assumption" that 3.0 is likely
- to be pretty unstable. I've been an active beta-tester during the test
- phases. PR1 was useable (but buggy), PR2 was VERY useable -- other companies
- release software with more bugs than PR2 has. I haven't seen the "GOLD"
- release yet but it should be REALLY sweet!!
-
- I consider 3.0 to be "Pretty Stable" -- the upgrade process is easy & the
- new stuff is just too cool!
