Get it while you can!

Feel free to turn this into a thread whining about how bad IE is or how great Opera and Firefox are...I could care less, it's just entertaining to read the ridiculous arguments you come up with.

While I can't. XP SP2 users only, others are left out. Better this than nothing though.

I heard that the early betas had been out, but I didn't know that something so close to the final version like this was. Oh well, you can't stay ahead of the crowd all the time.

Heh, my dream was squished. Im just waiting for linux to become stable... some say it can be run from CD, something on pc world. Maybe ill just change the route to IE, so ill never use it again.

Hm, it runs on my other comp (which is Windows XP), but doesn't seem to work on my Linux box, even though I wouldn't be using it anyways.

... waiting for linux to become stable? I've been using linux for a long time and it is safe to say it is the most stable OS in existence. Stop talking like a little boy who wants to get on linux as a sign of status. There are tons of people like you who want to get on linux just to look cool and brag about how you can get away from windows stuff, but it is also peopel like you who sit in IRC channels like #linux asking stupid questions and looking for someone to tell you everything there is to know about linux.

There are distrobutions of linux which run straight from a CD. Knoppix, ubuntu, and a bunch of others have very friendly versions where you boot right from the cd and it doesnt touch your HD at all, but they are very slow when you're opening programs and stuff.

Change the route to IE... eh? makes a ton of sense

Here is a great review for the browser. After it's officially released I'll want to compare it's features to ones in Firefox and Opera, but right now it's only in beta stages.

Review

If you want to try out the alpha version of Firefox ("Deer Park Alpha 2"), it's available for download as well. Very stable from what I've seen.

Deer Park
