Running OK here, after a couple of reboots. I did have a couple of freezes
when I opened Windows Mail, but those seem to have disappeared also.

I ended up rolling back my system to get rid of it (antivirus). My system
became very unstable after about 24 hours - to the point of being unusable.

I am wondering whether this is a x86 vs x64 thing accounting
for the differences in reported experience.

I've installed it on beta 2 x64 and intially it worked fine, but after a
couple of reboots the real time protect mode stopped working.

Not seeing any stability issues though.

*Zero* problems here since last Thursday; I'm using it as my day-to-day
system.

Am on Beta2 x86 is gobs of RAM and HDD space; the only tweaks were:
-- Paging (removed the automatic config; manually set to the recommended
level)
-- eTrust ezAntiVirus (disabled the Email scanning non-sense)

I advise others do similar (stabilize system paging) as that usually causes
additional CPU clock cycles and added HDD activity for zero performance
benefit.
