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!
