The major issue that I heard from most people on the fedora-list were 
that they are downloading a lot of information to use for a short period 
of time. Another issue seems to be path from test release to final 
release is "not supported" and from one beta into another beta not being 
an "approved"upgrade path. Personally, I think their beta paychecks bounced.

Except for vmware on an XP host not being bootable after an installation 
  and the now solved buggy BIOS video problem, I think this is a pretty 
smooth beta release.

The other bugs that were submitted seem to be resolved or being chased 
to squash. Except the vmware installation.

Are vmware installations being considered and being persued? I know they 
are virtual machines, but have virtual hardware specs.
