Should I take the risk in installing Lion as my primary?

[Steve Ballmer]

So...what do you guys are going to do when Apple releases a new Beta of Lion? Install over the old one again and loose all data? It kinda sucks when you use it as your primary.

And thus exactly why Apple says this shouldn't be used as your day-to-day OS.

Although between Time Machine and storing personal data on cloud servers, reinstalling an OS isn't quite the task these days that it used to be.

I don't know why anyone would install this over their primary OS. If you want to put it on your primary machine, that is one thing. Just partition and pray nothing happens. But at least keep your primary OS in case anything goes wrong. Beta is beta for a reason.
