    Yes. While the Windows 7 Beta is stable and has been thoroughly tested, it’s not the finished product. Your computer could crash and you could lose important files. So please don’t beta test Windows on your primary PC.

    I think you should carefully balance the risks and rewards for you of trying out the Windows 7 Beta before you install. Before installing and using the Beta, download and review the Release notes. They provide important information that you should know before installing and using Windows 7. You should familiarize yourself with all of the known issues in this document prior to installing the software. For example, the release notes describe a bug in which MP3 files may become corrupted and provide information on mitigating risk.
