Heheheh, one reason why I never use anything at home coming from
MS that is a beta. They seem to have enough problems getting the
retails to work like they should.
You could just go and work for the guys and you get the working full
versions. But I must agree that IE5 can be a bit of a pain, specially
if you use it in combination with one of their site server packages.
This all being my personal opinion of course.
