I don't use IE any more. I use FireFox and my OS is Linux. So need to worry about
all those IE cr@ps. & security flaws!! Now I can use my time well for other things,
instead of patching IE, installing anti-spyware, adware tools. I'm very happy with
FireFox.

true. i am not going to mess with an IE beta release again. i dont use it anywayz. firefox and opera can do everything IE can. when i removed the beta 2, it crashed my system. i couldnt open anything. even the system restore failed and i had to go for a reinstall. IE is a no no for me.
