it's a presale so you get a discount on the price

no ie because you are in the uk, they got sued and forced to take it out. However you can download and install it no problem.

upgrade will work as long as you have legal copy of xp or vista

There's no IE because MS spat the dummy and decided to remove it, they weren't forced to take it out.

and what does "spat the dummy mean"

I believe it implies Microsoft is stupid.



In this case, I disagree with the opinion tho.

what i figured just never heard the expression

would have to agree with you though anti trust lawsuit or just make it available in microsoft update, i probably would have done the same

Bleaghhh - They could use a 40 point font, letters flashing with laser beam brightness directly into the viewer's cerebellum, and code the page so a giant hand emerges from the screen, slaps the viewer HARD before shoving two fingers up his nose and dragging his face so the eyeballs are 2 centimeters from the words....


and a lot of tw*ts ***STILL** wouldn't read it.

Sad but true, and people wonder why the beta and rc will shutdown every two hours to remind them it's about to expire.
