I'm downloading mine. If I can get back without hosing my system, I'll let the forum know. This is NOT the beta release but the "gold" version. Presumably the bugs identified in beta testing have been take care of. I had no problems with the Service 1 Pack.

It it wrecks your computer be sure to post from the public library and let us know :)

Speaking of public libraries, the newest main branch (4 miles from me) has new Dell computers with 512mb memory and P4s at 2.66mhz. Along with 17" Dell LCDs. Talk about overkill! IIRC they even had G4 graphics cards instead of the usual onboard video.

Haven't noticed a great deal of diff between Beta version and final version.

I haven't suffered MORE glitches--about the same amount. Still get the blue screen of death because of some driver. Haven't found out which driver. All drivers supposedly have latest updates.

IE latest version still hangs when loading a variety of sites.

Microsoft is still arrogant, full of money and horse biscuits and very cheeky, greedy and insensitive to customer needs--if it even remembers it has customers after greedily grabbing their money.

There's no excuse with their money and mental horse power for so much junk STILL going on with their software.
