If Mozilla can stick to this schedule then I will be very impressed. I am still testing out the nightly builds of Firefox 2 and they keep getting better. I was also excited to see that the new UI is still scheduled for Beta 1 because some of their meeting notes were making me a little skeptical that it would make this milestone.
