Final copy, yes I am happy.
But I take exception to the warning they gave. Everywhere you looked they raved about IE4. Then is some small type they have a disclaimer. Heck, I'm a professional and I had a very bad time. I would hate to see what some "regular" went through. But yes I did a full install.

>>That was the problem in the Betas, one PC ran like a champ with IE4 and the next would be screwed up. I was bloodied by IE$ Previews and will for the most part never install MS Betas again. I wrote an article on this in this months VFUG newsletter which should be out soon.

>I believe in the PREVIEW version of IE40. They stronly suggested that you do not install it on a developement machine. But, I didn't have any problem to uninstall it. I think it depends on how deep you install IE40 (Full Install with desktop changes). Anyway, I'm really satisfied of the product.
