I backed up, nuked, and did fresh installs of Snow Leopard on two
machines (a 15" unibody MBP and a 2.66 GHz iMac), and have had zero
problems with FMP / FMPA 10 or FMSAdmin on either machine (not running
any plugins at the moment). It is my standard practice to back up,
nuke, and fresh install on one machine first for testing purposes,
then on my other machine once I've established that there are no deal-
breakers--I find fresh installs to be infinitely less painful than the
"needle in a haystack" process of trying to troubleshoot an upgrade.
I'm currently playing around with FMP / FMPA 10 on a fresh install of
Windows 7 for similar purposes and would be happy to report any
problems I run into to anyone interested (I've had some experience
with the beta, so don't expect any major gotchas).
