Hello there

Are these "beta versions generally ok to download, and are you likely to have problems.
I am running a windows 7x64 machine and should be ok with this.

I have never really tryed out any of these "beta" versions yet and have always waited to see what problems did arise (if any).

Any advice or tips on trying out these beta versions of explorer.... so far, i have tried the ie9 beta released today. it is generally stable and you definitely do see webpages loading up faster, in comparison to ie8, especially on websites with a lot of GRAPHICS.

you can try it if you want. if you somehow want to uninstall it, you can do so. IE9 is listed under the "View Installed Updates" section within the programs/features panel for which you can uninstall programs in the control panel.
