I successfully rolled back the beta a couple of times - haven't actually tried the final release, but I'm not worried that it won't roll back. When I installed, it automatically uninstalled the RC1 version which was on there at the time - which is the correct behaviour. It has to do this so that rolling back the final release results in IE6 not whichever test version. PITA though, as it rebooted my machine twice. If it hadn't done that, though, I would be worried.
I didn't know there were standalone versions of IE7. I have to say, I have already started to see IE6 as a browser on which sites may degrade gracefully. -- Chris Ovenden http://thepeer.blogspot.com "Imagine all the people / Sharing all the world" ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
