Did mine months ago, no problems of any kind. Haven't seen much negative feedback on forums, SP3 seems to be a goodie.

But make sure that you back everything up before you install it just to be on the safe side. Better safe than sorry and all that.

...another reason to stick with Firefox. It seems IE8 is still beta though.

Yep have used F Fox3 since is was beta with no issues. It got the best write up for browser in September's PC Plus, beating such names as Opera and Safari.
