Default Internet Explorer: Beta 2

Hello

Has anyone installed this? Generally Beta 2's are pretty good, but just wondered if anyone has any horror stories before I install it.

Thanks.

Running just as quick as ie7 for me. No crashes yet (using the Vista 64 version), but it's a beta so I wouldn't be surprised to see one at some point...

Does that mean they've introduced the correct spelling in this version or is it still 'favorite' ? Because that annoys me.

I agree, if they mis-spelled a non english version the locals would revolt.

The beta I have tested is, to be frank, poor.
Buggy, crashes more, particularly on flash sites, cookie collection is rubbish. In all, I am sticking with Firefox for now. IE7 was ok, but just ok.
I have filed my report to microsoft. If nobody files reports as a beta tester, then they wont know to fix glitches, bugs etc.
