    Productivity Center tools such as PW manager and Fingerprint reader etc?
    RC1 looks enticing but problems are not! Have any of you people tried it?

    I installed it yesterday. No problems... and the tab handling features are good. Still, Fx has AdBlock, which for me is a necessity. But don't feel afraid of IE8-RC1. Give it a whirl.

    I took the plunge myself in abscense of any real help from the folks here. It runs fine. Does not break any Lenovo/Thinkpad apps and seems to be quite fast. Give it a try. What I do notice and will have to confirm is the fan seems to come on a lot with IE8RC!. Dont know ifs a coincidence.
