    I have been using my dell for a few weeks and it came with A08 installed, no problems or anything so as far as I'm concerned you should update, nothing bad will happen as long as it updates right and all.

    Install A08 but just don't cancel it or turn off your computer partway through because it might screw up your BIOS and in turn, not allow you to boot.
