Eh, I'm just running it as my main OS, lol.

All my data is on a different drive, as always, so there's really no risk. If something happens, then I guess my computer will just be down for a few hours until I install another OS. >_>

Besides, I have the keys to the University CS Labs (since I work there), so I can go there 24/7 if necessary.

news flash!
a brand new beta OS has new features that are "better" than an OS's features that have been out for 1 1/2 years

it seems that the new taskbar is a more visual (if your computer can handle it) application handler than OS X's dock though it is still up to the application coders to make it work for each OS. and how about the dedicated buttons on the mac that show all windows, show the desktop, and show the dashboard
