Right now I'm an engineer on the team there (shhhh), and it's no fun to sit back and watch all the harsh, sometimes unfair biases.
I would not recommend this for the casual "home user" who doesn't have multiple instances of their favorite browser(s), or a VM/testbed environment to play with.
I'm all for betas and engaging the users in reporting bugs, crashes, and the like, but I wouldn't use the beta version on my primary/only browser. But that's just me.
And, since I'm here anyway (and it's already a bit OT), I would encourage anybody that is out there still using Internet Explorer 6,
if possible, please upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 at a very minimum. Internet Explorer 8, if you can. However, a better long-term alternative might be Mozilla Firefox, Google's Chrome, or Apple's Safari. The latter three browsers tend to be more secure than Internet Explorer and do a much better job of supporting current and emerging web standards.
