Maybe some dumb questions, but:
When I want to download and install MJ8, is it necessary to uninstall MJ 7 first ? and
Is it rather "safe" now to download the last MJ8beta version taking in account that I am not very experienced. Or ist it better to wait for the official version ?

A good question, one that's been asked before. Opinions vary. The current beta looks pretty close to a release, but that doesn't mean that you might encounter some monster problem, as a few have. If you get into a state where you're in lockups or other things that you just can't seem to get out of, uninstalling 8 and getting 7 to run again can sometimes be tough. Overall if you're inexperienced and you're in need of solid uptime from your MJ, my opinion (just mine and not that of JRiver or anyone else) would probably be to wait for the release of 8 and just go with 7 for the moment. When you do go to 8, it does not need to be manually removed first--the installer takes care of it for you.
