Hopefully it'll make me do a full switch to it.

Thanks for the info Brink and I'll be there for the new explorer with you too!., My Sys is a cyber power machine with the windows seven ultimate edition os and the beta also, with the gigabyte p55a-ud3 motherboard,and 8 gb ram, the intel 975 2.93 ghz processor,liquid cooling,two lg blue ray cd players,two 500 gb sata 2 hard drives,multiple cooling fans, and other goodies anyway thanks for the info Brink!

You're welcome.

I'm just hoping that it'll be an actual usable beta, and not one of those platform previews again.

Will you be able to run this side by side with IE8, without any IE8 interaction screwups?

We shall see.

I'll be grabbing this tomorrow. Do we know if there are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, or is this something else that we're going to have to wait and see about?

Hope its better than IE8

Me too!

I hope it is a usable beta also. If it can persuade my ex-wife to return some of my alimony, I'd be extra happy.
