Depends on your tolerance for pain. This is an early beta 1 release, so you need to expect that you will encounter quite a few bugs that will still need to be ironed out. Some pages will not render correctly in IE 8 and it seems to really suffer a lot of problems when browsing secured websites.
Unless you are a serious developer or web designer I'd probably avoid it until at least beta 2. Even then I wouldn't consider installing IE8 on my primary PC for use as a "daily driver" on the web, it is often quite difficult to remove betas and get things working correctly again afterwards if there are problems. A much better idea for experimenting with these types of betas is to install them on virtual PC images, that way it won't bork your entire system when it crashes...
