I am with Phil, I am going to wait for the gold release myself.
Being an ex AOLTimeWarner Inc employee (prior to the merger) we knew that no one in Virgina could code anything to save their lives, and it always took someone from the west coast to fix what it was VA screwed up.
Another reason I am waiting for the gold release, is so that w00w00.org can pick it a part (they never do this to alpha or beta projects) and discover more buffer overflow security concerns.
They had a field day with AIM 4.x, will they have the same kind of picnic with 5.x? We shall soon see!
