Yup, installed it yesterday with no problems - it kept my previous settings as I would expect. I had to upgrade a couple of plugins, but that was automated too. What a nice browser.

 

I quite like the "Download missing plugins for this page" feature - this got Flash up and running in no time flat.

 

Never looked back since ditching IE on all my platforms - and I get that nice warm smug glow when I see yet another security advisory. Today, it's browsing JPEGs in IE that is bad for your health:
