Seriously, there's plenty of places you can check if you're willing to accept that this latest offering is a complete rewrite and not just assume it's some marginal bug fix of IE6 like so many people seem to.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
