Jo Anne you don't have to reformat right now, just SOOOON.

I wonder if IE9 will conform to standards at last?

haha zipper you're next on the hit list!

IE from the initial release has ALWAYS conformed to MS standards, it's the rest of the world that non-conforming.

lol Albert, I think you missed the joke there, Scott's always telling me to format is all

I would rather not install it if I can't have both 8 and the 9 beta at the same time so I'll wait

OK, I understand!
I'll try to keep my fingers off the buttons, next time!

hehe no worries Albert

Hmm Scott I think you meant that they aren't making an XP version not a Vista version maybe?

Microsoft's Virtual PC download is a great tool free tool for creating enviroments for testing apps and OSs without many of the headaches. Just remember to uncheck the activate software when loading MS OS & apps.

More important to me does anyone have any knowledge or knowledge of rumors on Adobe releasing a 64 bit version of FLASH for MS's 64 bit version of IE?

I'm ok with FF. But when the official release of IE9 comes out, I'll probably try it.
