Are you one of those who lives on the bleeding edge? One who choose to use the beta build instead of the stable one to see those new features? One who install every updates the minute it become available?
I use to be part of that group but I got burned.
That is what you get for playing with fire.
I have not installed Windows XP SP3 yet (why are you using XP). In case you do not know about it, Microsoft or OEMs have screwed up the evaluation and testing of SP3. On some computer, it creates an infinite reboot loop after the installation of SP3.
I did download Firefox 3.0 beta 5 to test some new features, but I am still using the good old version 2.
I am still using WordPress 2.3.2 for my blog even though version 2.5 has been out for a while. I am fine using something that works for me and I do not need all those new feature. I am somewhat unpleased with the fact that it is always reminding me that I should updates.
If I had installed version 2.5, I would have to install version 2.5.1 to correct many important security bug. I would have been burned again.
Firefox 3 on Linux will be released with a known system-killing performance problem. That is quite unappealing. You get all those new and interesting features for a major problem.
It is not worth it. Living on the bleeding edge is something I will try to avoid in the future.
