    I went from the official Beta 1 build 7000 to build 7022 last night, and so far I am very pleased. Greatest benefit so far has got to be the vastly improved stability of IE8 RC1, as well as overall system stability. Anyone else make the switch? Thoughts?

    The RC build will be on all our machines in April, so its not that big a deal.

    That's a long time to stick with a pretty unstable beta browser, for me.

    I have the 7000 and it seems stable already. The 7022 must be really good.

    Use something else like Firefox or Chrome 2.0 then. IE is a POS either way.

    can you just upgrade without deleting your current progams or do you have to do a clean install?

    You'd have to do a clean install.

    I'm looking for this, but couldn't find any 64bit version. Where did you get it at?

    Will the same product key for 7000 work with 7022?

    windows 7 seems solid but internet explorer 8 beta is a total disaster. this fix is kinda of exciting to me. i had to stop using IE all together it was so bad. now if i could locate a win 64 version of this.

    I dont think a 64-bit version is out just yet. I'm not completely a 100% on this though, coz i couldn't find one either.

    That's my favorite part. I'm looking forward to the next release on Technet.
