I believe the IE 9 beta and previous preview builds were only available for Windows Vista and above.

Firefox 4 is still in beta and IE9 beta hasn't even come out yet. You have no way of knowing that Firefox 4 is better when you can't even compare the two yet.

I have a problem with windows update in windows 7, when i have checked what updates i want to install it starts to download them, but it will not actually start to download them, there just reads downloading updates... or then it downloads about 192mb of them and stops there and it won't download them completely, how do i fix this annoying problem??

I used a batch file too which restarts update things...
