7

[Infinite]

Just a quick question for anyone who has installed it already. It is IE7 or IE8?

it is 8

But why use it when FF3 works fine?

And the update to paint after god knows how many years (going on 14 i think?)!

Do we know what updates have been made to Media Centre? Thats the part I'm most interested in for Windows 7!!

Because some of us despise FF3; of the four browsers I have installed, it is the slowest, and is the second-most crash-prone (behind Chrome).

I'll be testing if Opera 10 alpha works on Win7, assuming I get my download before they run out. I've been hearing there's a 2.5 million limit on the public beta...

Besides the fact that IE8 STILL cannot render web pages properly, and forces developers to effectively hack their code to display their content correctly? I've not found FF to be significantly slower, nor IE/Chrome/Opera to be any faster (in fact, opera was the slowest on my machine). Firefox has much better plug-in options and i find much more intuitive to use.

I can check Opera for you if you don't get onto the beta though.

Works fine
