How often do you upgrage your Wordpress System?

A Beta release (2.5) is already available for public download, would you update? What is your current Wordpress version?

This blog is using version 2.3.2, the available version when I installed in from the Hosting Control Panel. Two of my other blogs are also still using version 2.3.2 and I don’t see any need for upgrading. For me, as long as there’s no problem with my current system or there’s no new feature in the new version that interests me, I don’t need to upgrade just so I could go with the flow. If I remembered it right, the only time I upgraded was when the tag system was introduced. The new version, according to the release notes, will enable customizability of your dashboard and some other stuff.

In a nutshell: I have been working for a laptop manufacturing firm for more than 5 years now and based from our experience, everything new almost always comes with a few bugs. And most of the times, the would bugs take at least 3 months to be fixed. Sometimes it could take half a year. Sometimes forever and the developer would just discontinue the product.
