I find upgrading mostly works, although I would not start mixing alpha's and beta's. Also, 64bit stuff seems to be a bit more brittle than 32bit stuff. The new software center is pretty cool, will be nice when Synaptic is completely rolled into this. Also nice that when adding PPA's, you do not need to install public keys anymore (quick Crome plug: http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu). Best part has got to be a complete boot to login screen in 15 seconds.
