Clean install or upgrade?

This is a judgement call.

The Live 8 library is different in structure from the Live 7 library.

If you upgrade in place there may be some presets you can't use in Live 7.

Since Live 8 is still not so mature, you probably want to use Live 7 for a
while for critical things.

I decided to keep my Live 7 library intact and isolated and do a clean install of
Live 8.0.1 Suite.
