I second this. I am using it at home on a machine where all important data is backed up, and I am quite happy to set the machine up again as and when needed.
But, as a beta tester for SP2, I would say avoid it unless you are willing and able to fix things as they go wrong.

Also, despite the "Release Candidate" status, there is still a GOOD chance there is bugs in the Service Pack. Bugs in software is one thing (at worst, that piece of software may malfunction). Bugs in a service pack may stop the computer booting at all.
