    Was just wondering if its possible to uninstall the IE7 Bets 2 thats posted on todays updates. I downloaded it but haven't installed it yet because i wanna make sure i can get rid of it if i have to. Any help would be great and thanks in advance.

    Yes you can get rid of it via add/remove programs. Just make sure that you have "Show updates" checked, to see it.

    Or by running:

    "C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\spuninst.exe"

    Hmmm....according to this, it shouldn't even be considered for usage as a full-fledged browser yet. There's also a thread elsewhere in software where someone is having trouble removing it because they can't find it to remove.

    Then again, this is BETA! :)

    And being a BETA, one should always be wary.

    Oh I agree using extra caution with a Beta release is a good idea, but I've never not tried something just because it was a Beta release. What kind of jumps out at me is this:

    I'd probably not even bother if an author or company includes that statement in their release. :)

    Well I gotta say, I installed the beta and i like it. Has a nice look to it and some much needed security updates. And nice to see IE with the tabbed browsing finally.

    the note that Star posted may have been one of the Admins Tim or Jim's note on this not being intended for casual users to install as its not a finished final product ( as the document above is intended and aimed at IT pros, Developers or users who understand the risks and take the precautions of system backups if using a non test PC ) and as such if as a user you are not fully aware that installing this may compromise your system stability leading to in a worse case senario a re-install of the OS.
