Releasing a commercial revweb site

I'm within a week of releasing a fairly extensive commercial revweb 
project, which will immediately have traffic in the thousands (based on 
my existing Rev software and user database). I'm feeling a little 
uncertain about this, given the state of the plugin (which mostly works 
quite well). I've only tested my program on XP and Firefox so far, but 
will do much more thorough testing this week, including asking folks 
here to help in the testing process.

One concern I have is that the plugin will likely be upgraded again soon 
(in a week?... two weeks?... unknown)... meaning all my users will have 
to reinstall it.... which means downloading the new version, shutting 
down their browser, installing the new plugin, then restarting. Yes, 
they have to do this with other well known plugins, but will they be 
concerned that this process will be all-too-frequent with the Rev 
plugin? And for that matter, what am I even telling them about a 
revweb-based site? Am I telling them to essentially ignore the security 
concerns (I use every permission, other than the registry)?

Will there be problems with other configurations of an OS and browser? I 
hope to find this out shortly, but what if they have a somewhat older 
version of a browser? There's been so little revweb real-world 
experience to date.

Anyone else on the verge of taking this leap? Or better yet, has anyone 
else already made the leap? Any particular thoughts on this matter?

Thanks.
Richard Miller
