Help with Windows 6.1 update please

I have the PPC 6800 with the Sprint network. Just like everyone else I'm impatiently waiting for the new update. I've seen a couple posts on here and I'm wondering how safe it is and which one is the best. I have the update from the HTC site but I really want the 6.1 so I can see what it's about. I've never played with my phone in the way of non Sprint/HTC updates but I assume it's safe.? So if anyone can direct me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.

Upgrading isn't too difficult if you're running Windows XP. Running Windows Vista becomes a lot trickier, but not too bad. Take a look at the sticky posts on flashing new roms. The BuildOS ROM cooker is a lot better than what it used to be, but it still isn't noob friendly. You may want to see if you can grab an already cooked WM6.1 ROM. I've been using my own cooked ROM for less than a week, and so far there haven't been any major differences. There are a handful of little things that make it nice for me, but that is because I'm picky.

I've flashed many times under Vista using both stock and kitchens. I just ran the RUU in XP Compatibility Mode

There are a couple of updating/flashing guides at the top of the HTC Titan Upgrades section that should give you a decent grasp of how to do it and the rest is trial and error. I recommend Olipro 2.40 bootloader and the Official WM 6.1 ROM is out so you can try flashing that before working with custom roms.
