It is only out as a Technical Preview.
SP2 is in Beta and therefore no you shouldn't download it right away.
Many of us have downloaded it and are running it on "non-critical" machines
that we aren't worried
about the need to do a fresh install on should it be necessary.
Wait for the final released version to come out befoe considering a download
unless your willing
to do the same.

Unless you don't know how to secure your own computer it won't really do you
much good. Besides it is only BETA,
