I kept this on for 12 hours and got rid of it; far to buggy; roll on the final release

Thanks, I guess I will stick with Firefox for the time being. I was just very curious as to why it would not install.

Now, I understand that the INABILTY to install is one of Microsoft's new advanced features, to make things better for the user.

It's a "Feature"! ;)

YA! That's the Ticket!

if it ain't broke, don't fix it....lol:p
