on request

only to be told

256012 2004-07-28 06:14:00 a thread like this came about a few day ago....

its about 4 weeks to the download version and about 8 weeks to the CD version..

this is if MS dont find any problems in the next few weeks.

First of all it appears that you have a problem with your keyboard. I think that the "s" key does not work for you.

OH so sorry. The "s" key works after all. My mistake.

You could download a Beta version if you feel like it.

256015 2004-07-28 09:13:00 Well I tried a Beta version like RC2. It isn't here now though.

Other persons mileage may vary. Or is that Kilometres now?

256016 2004-07-28 09:38:00 Micro$oft, Micro$lop. Look my $ key doesn't work either, oh dear. :) kiki (762)
256017 2004-07-28 09:46:00 Ive tried the release that came after WinXP SP2 RC2 and its great.. Ive been using it since build 2082 with little complaints :-)

Its probably not worth the download ATM - Just wait a few weeks and use an alternate browser in the mean time (See: MozillaFirefox) :-)


Chill.
