I've only started using VMs recently (but mostly for other distros).  I 
typically do a fresh install of the development version 6-8 weeks prior 
to release date. Anything earlier than that (in my experience) is just 
not worth the hassle.

And frankly, I've found Gutsy to be *much* buggier than Feisty was 6 
months ago.  They've got a lot of work to do in 4 days.....
