Well it's a definite improvement over Beta 1.

Quite quick actually, still not a patch on Firefox though.

It still jitters when attempting to scroll down a page that isn't full loaded, and generally dumps you up the top again, the PF1 adds look amazing.

700981 2008-08-28 01:22:00 Should I try? Beta 1 screwed up my old laptop and I had to do an Acronis restore to rectify the problems. Everything just locked up and couldn't start/stop/reboot etc.

700983 2008-08-28 02:00:00 Thanks for the warning... Deane F (8204)
700984 2008-08-28 04:21:00 I'll install it on my Dell PC and try for myself. After all, I don't use that PC much. pcuser42 (130)
700985 2008-08-28 07:59:00 I have been useing it all all day and am quite happy with it. It's notocably faster than IE6 and doesn't have the problems that IE7 has.
Think I'll keep it.

700986 2008-08-28 20:27:00 Microsoft has warned that in some cases, you might have to keep it.

700987 2008-08-28 21:30:00 Yeah It said that for me, as I have Sp3. There is always a way of getting rid of software you don't want. ;) wratterus (105)
