IT IS BAD, YOU KNOW WHAT IT DID?!!?
I can't start my IE anymore! I can't uninstall IE and I can't even re-install it... SO hard to test stuff now o.O and some of M$ Updates are not working when I use the browser from the folders...

*Hates M$*

It's a beta you shouldn't even have access to, why is it M$'s fault? Confused

Did you try "Add/Remove Programs"? Confused

That's how I uninstalled the Beta.

Amailer · **Posted:** Fri Aug 19, 2005 3:06 pm

yup, of course lol there is no IE in there o.O

You've gotta check the box that says "Show Updates" and it'll be near the bottom. Just uninstall IE, then reboot and version 6 should be there.

Bash Microsoft all you want, but bashing it because its BETA software doesn't work perfectly is retarded. Guess what? Nobody's beta works perfectly. That's why it's called beta. If it worked, it'd be retail.

True, but there's still one possible avenue to bash Microsoft. Beta software, by definition, is supposed to feature complete, but potentially (quite) buggy. Microsoft has a habit of releasing "betas" that are missing features. Smile

So Microsoft uses their own definition of beta. Judging a company by the quality of its beta software is stupid, however they define beta.

No, there is a widely accepted definition of "beta" with regards to software development. Microsoft, by not adhering to that is doing something wrong.
