I'm curious as to whether anyone out there has installed a later build of OS X over a pre-existing install of the Public Beta, as opposed to just reformatting and doing a fresh install. Obviously this will be a concern to those of us who have a working install of OS X when we receive the final version of OS X.
For example, I've reorganized my /Applications directory somewhat. I've moved all the Internet stuff (Mail.app, MS Explorer.app) into a subdirectory, and I've moved some of the stuff that was in /Applications to /Applications/Utilities. Will the shipping version of OS X recognize these new file locations, or will it just install new versions in their default locations? That seems more likely.
Also, I've got some different things going on in my machine, such as a (partially-configured) Samba server, ssh enabled, ipfw up and configured, etc. Will the shipping version of OS X overwrite those changes, or respect them?
