Hey I'm a mac guy, just saying it as I see it Fixed that for you. I disagree with you. They do it because there are enough of them that care about it where as MS just want to screw as much money out of the punter as they can.	mikebartnz (21)
1137559	2010-09-18 10:58:00	So have you tried IE9 Platform preview or Beta yet? No as it does not run on Linux like all the other browsers(except for Safari) and I am not interested in trying to get it to run within Wine.	mikebartnz (21)
1137560	2010-09-18 22:37:00	Where as MS just want to screw as much money out of the punter as they can much like Apple do only Apple do it better, the screwing money out of people bit. Not the building a decent computer.	gary67 (56)
1137561	2010-09-18 23:04:00	I don't know about that.. I am not too techy a person, but for my self, Windows 7 blows all previous Windows OS's away. Ken Agree with that. I have exactly the same setup I had on XP that I now have on Win 7. Boot up on XP 1min 30 + Win7 between 30 and 45 seconds. :)	Trev (427)
1137562	2010-09-18 23:07:00	No as it does not run on Linux like all the other browsers(except for Safari) and I am not interested in trying to get it to run within Wine. So then you are prepared to condemn IE9 sihgt unseen apparently.	Snorkbox (15764)
1137563	2010-09-18 23:07:00	Tried it on a old machine with W7 on it. Can anyone open www.orcon.net.nz and see the full page with all graphics?? I'm minus the Youtube video piece. Updated the latest Flash as well.. Works for me. IE9 Win7 32 bit. :)	Trev (427)

Hmmmmm - so rubbishing a Browser and it cant be used on Linux -- funny that, not every company makes software that will run on all OS's. As per the comment about MS making money -- Strange,but last time I looked if a company didn't make money then you wont have a company for long. Just because MS are huge they are a target for all the wingers. I bet if the place you work for, unless self employed of course, and that would still count, didn't make money, you would be out of a job. There are places that screw customers one hell of a lot more than MS does. MS gives away millions to charity's and needy places every year - does the place you work for do that ? There are still plenty of sites that wont work correctly on anything But IE. I hit one the other day, tried FF, Chrome no go, only IE would work.	wainuitech (129)
1137565	2010-09-19 00:02:00	trying to install it on vista SP2, but never seems to get past the letter q under the words "downloading required updates". no activity in task manager either(shows up there though)	GameJunkie (72)
1137566	2010-09-19 00:24:00	Are you trying the Web installer,or the fullpackage. I had problems at first, then go it From here (windows.microsoft.com) - English, select version vista or W7 32 or 64 bit.	wainuitech (129)

I am so over the 'hate MS just because" set. It's like the Holden V's Ford lot - different strokes for different folks! Business is Business...	BigBadBob (14963)
