That's the reason I posted those to my blog, they are more then 2 years old. People think David Lipman is a Usenet God and they think he is trustworthy. They don't know the things he does when not posting to Usenet or the things he does when he does not like someone. They accuse me of stealing yet every attempt they have made to stop me has failed. They just can't handle the truth. My Remove-it software is unique and has been for over a year now since I incorporated measures to prevent it from working if they try to copy it. -- The Real Truth http://pcbutts1-therealtruth.blogspot.com/ "Ed" wrote in message news:Xns9B9B76D969B472362352@127.…

…notice this yesterday while running the Windows 7 Beta: If you open the newly redesigned whitehouse.gov in Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 Beta, you’ll notice that the dropdown menus don’t hide correctly when you hover over other menu items. This is because the version of IE8 in Windows 7 Beta is somewhat older than the Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate (IE8 RC1) that we're about to release for Windows Vista and Windows XP. Internet Explorer 8 RC1 displays whitehouse.gov correctly - without this menu issue, as does most recent internal Win7 build. Over the past months, our compatibility team has been hard at work, finding and fixing bugs that caus…
