Internet Explorer 9 Beta

[nihil]

And it' is a shame they arn't bringing it out for winXP / Vista but it is understandable as XP may have more marketshare amongst there OS, but win7 is there new flagship so offcourse they are going to entice more people to move across to there newer OS.

AFAIK IE9 will work with Vista SP2?

If MS drop support for IE8, many people using XP are likely to go to a rival browser. I can't see people buying new kit just to run the latest version of IE, after all XP will run quite happily with much less resource than Vista or 7.

Also, I come across quite a few ex-corporate machines that have onboard video and no VGA slot so graphics would be a problem.

Edit...

Correct Vista 32bit will let you install -> run

but meh Vista is just as useful as Windows ME.

Both will run perfectly if you give them enough resources, and both were victims of mis-marketing by M$.

Basically they let their partners ship the OSes on kit that was not up to the job, and didn't tell people what resources they really needed.
