Just upgraded to 3.0 on Fedora 11 64-bit.

Can't say that there is any considerable improvement for what I do (schoolwork in Visual Studio, MS Office 2k7) but everything works perfectly post-upgrade. VirtualBox has been a godsend since I discovered it; no more dual-booting, and being free and available on many platforms is awesome.
