TSGL: Remove the New IE beta 8.1???

[Russell W. Coover]

I don't think there is an IE 8.1, but there is an IE 8 now in beta. The
public can download it, but even Microsoft warns that it is probably only
useful for developers. I took a look at it and found it very interesting and
full of good ideas, but since some webpages were not developed for it, found
rendering problems. I was able to easily remove it and go back to IE 7. By
the way, I recommend all IE users to use IE 7 rather than IE 6 which has
some security problems. Additionally, I think most folks will prefer IE 7
over IE 6 once they've used it for a while. It is a much superior browser to
IE 6. 

Speaking of new browsers, I've recently downloaded Opera 9.5 Beta 2, Build
9945 and it is very impressive. I don't know if it will eventually be my
browser of choice, but I'm not ruling that out after using it for a short
period of time. I can usually tell if I like a browser or not after about 20
minutes of use, but I've used this one for several hours, and haven't had a
bad moment yet. My usual dislike for Opera was that it does not (and this
version still does not) have a way to set up multiple "Home" pages. But it
has a feature called "Speed Link" which almost, and I emphasize the word
"almost" overcomes this weakness. This feature simply adds just a mouse
click or two to my effort, not difficult, but I'd still rather have the
preferred page automatically tabbed. Fast, quick, and accurate is a good
description of this browser. It is worth taking a look.

I must have been sleeping. Where did IE 8.1 come from? Is this installed 
as part of SP 3?
