    Do not install it on a mission critical machine;) (this holds true for most BETA softwares)

    I'll be waiting a couple months after the final release to install it on machines that I can't afford to re-format.

    Installation of an Win 7 update KB2454826 is a requirement for installing IE9. I have heard a lot of horror stories about this update. Is it safe to install ?

    I have had no issues on 3 installs of SP1 - x64 & x86, & IE9 - KB2454826 was installed back in February.

    Yup, just a matter of chance I guess.

    Anyway, since I use FF I plan to put off IE9 installation for a couple of weeks & see how things pan out.
