Yes, please. I'm going to install 5.2 (I think, unless I hear more bad news from the net) in about 3 weeks (quarter break). If you know of any problems, I'd really like to hear about it now, while I can still decide to hold off on installing. I really don't want a line of irate users standing outside my office next quarter wanting to know why their programs don't work/ aren't there/whatever. Please, let us benefit from you troubles.
