I haven't tested it a lot- but all of my plugins seemed to live through the process of upgrading. I just uploaded the upgrade to the 'all' folder and then did the upgrade through each domain's upgrade.php. There were initially several MySQL errors upon first load of the dashboard, while the plugins tried to sort themselves out with the new WP core functions, all of which resolved on their own shortly. Obviously, you can't upgrade your plugins from each domain, you have to do this wherever you have the main installation. I even have WP eCommerce working on one domain while it is actually installed in my 'all' wordpresses folder (although I don't know that it will work properly through checkout. Am changing that domains setup but will try to do some testing for testing's sake before doing that). You should note, though, that <a href="http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/version-3-0-project-schedule/" rel="nofollow">WP3.0 is slated to merge with WPMU</a> - so it have the 'multiple blogs, multiple domains' capabilities of WPMU, which was (for me) the purpose of implementing this whole getup. Depending on your plugin needs, might be worth waiting. Let me know how it goes. @shadow,

I am back to it now and intend to test out the status of the multiple install soon. I will post an update, thanks for asking. Brandi @shadow-
