| 1137509 | 2010-09-15 22:04:00 | Not that I use IE any more (where I can help it), but I hope they've sorted their beta install/uninstall routine out. The last time I installed an IE beta (7?) it was so buggy I uninstalled it - and that completely stuffed the install of the Production version. Had to do a rebuild of the damn PC... I know they recommend "advanced users only" to install beta software, but of lot of curious people also "have a go" in the often mistaken belief that it will be fine... |

| 1137510 | 2010-09-15 22:22:00 | The install/uninstall in IE9 is pretty good. No worries about wasting any production versions already installed. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||

| 1137513 | 2010-09-16 00:40:00 | Yeah, I don't use Beta versions of anything from Microsoft unless it's on a sacrificial installation of Windows for testing. (Microsoft also suggest not to use their betas on production machines) If only they would make a version for XP :( |

| 1137515 | 2010-09-16 00:54:00 | So? It's still a damn good operating system and a lot lighter and faster than Vista or 7 Just because something is old doesn't mean it's bad. I also like Windows 3.11 quite a lot. |

I also like Windows 3.11 quite a lot. 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 |
