Nephros,
I am with you that it is going to have some incredible features. But, I have to say if you use the formula:
Past AC releases + Beta testing seems to be done on forum, I think you would be remiss to jump right on it.
What I do, although the last time I posted this, I caught flak from many, is install it on a sandbox or even better a VM and play with it. It isn't nearly the same as using it in production as far as learning and finding bugs that apply to you. But, at least when you hear about bugs, you can do a risk/benefit assessment. It has also been true that it is difficult to go back once you install a new version especially a completely new version.
It just seems like even "showstoppers" get through. The last thing you want is to have all these fancy features, but ePrescribe doesn't work or it takes two minutes for a chart to open.
As Indy says, wait for the first penguin. Actually, wait for about 10 penguins. I truly hate saying this, but it has just been the pattern. Plus, with this many new features, there is that much higher of a chance there will be bugs.
