Personally, I believe that if you can't afford to "blow up" your machine
right now (i.e. it is a development machine that you use for routine
development), I would suggest not installing any beta software. Not that
there is anything wrong with VS2005, just it is a little risky.
At a recent .NET 2005 Beta event from MSDN, they suggested installing the
Beta on a "Virtual PC", or a completely different PC than what you would use
for routine development. Just for safety.

I know this is not the best place to place this question but I am not
currently able to access the Whidbey newsgroups for reason I am unable to
identify at present. Just thought someone here might know.
Are there any known problems with Windows XP Pro SP2 and VS beta? I am
getting ready to install the SP2 but really can't afford to have it blow
up my machine right now.
