I just updated my WordPress installation to 2.0. You can get it from the WordPress Download page. Clint’s post on WP 2.0 alerted me to the release this morning. Before I upgraded, I backed up my site and databases, de-activated my plugins (important!), switched to the default theme and deleted my unmodified WP files (I kept plugins and themes). After uploading the new installation, I went to the upgrade page on my site and clicked on the button to continue with the upgrade. Then I was done 
I have taken a quick look around the new installation, and it’s impressive. The use of AJAX for the new editor is nice, although it may be a bit much for simple posting. For example, to insert a link into a post, I usually just type in the <a> tags myself. I just tried the new link button and it had to load a page into a new window! It wasn’t exactly speedy, especially when I had to type in the URL just as if I inserted my own tags.
I’ll get a chance to play with it more later, I suppose. For now, it’s lunch time.
