If you want to "check it out", run it on VMware or VirtualBox. 

It is called a "preview" for a reason and it is not recommended to use it as your daily OS.

What if you lose all your data due to a bug, or even end up frying your hardware?

 

TL;DR: Yes it is free and it is full of crashes.

So, are there lots of crashes with this kinda stuff? I was thinking about re-installing my current OS anyways.

 

 

Oh ya and is this free? I haven't checked yet.
