Hi,

As published in multiple magazines it will be available in March 2010 at the latest through Windows Update, so I doubt you'll get a screenshot soon.

Kind regards,

Eric

PS: supposed to be looking like this: Dutch magazine with 'screenshot' although I doubt it's the real thing.

I'm sure Mickey$oft will put its products in the first place, and most likely ask for confirmation like three times if a user wants to install anything else but IE.

Kind regards,

Eric
