More on IE9 Beta-it just will not go away.

As reported by TechSpot, it appears Microsoft is stating there were 2 Million downloads of the IE9 Beta in only 2 days.  As I had recently reported on IE9, in my opinion this 2 million downloads are most likely NOT just IT people trying it out which means, even if 1 percent of those either forget to uninstall before the new one is released and/or have some sort of problem as a direct result of this beta download, people will once again have reason to complain about Microsoft and their IE product.  I really don't get why so many people are so desperate to try out some new product when they know how the previous one truly sucked!?

Do yourself a favour, if you see a product that is labeled 'beta' and you are NOT a computer tech, simply move along and forget even thinking about downloading it!  It's bad enough when the product is built in, wrapped up within an operating system and you have no choice but when you have a choice, ask someone that knows before blindly installing.
