Well...i finished with the install of 8.1 final and so far everything appears to be working nicely. guess i'll keep my eye on this one for a while before i'm confident that it will be worry free. RC1 was nice, but it was flaky. as was beta3. but thats why they call it "beta".
i'm curious about something though. why'd they release RC1 and then not a week later the "final" release of Mdk 8.1 was on the servers?
