Hmm? That's strange, I didn't get anything installed in my system tray!
<shrug> I love the fact that it did place an icon in the quicklaunch
because that is where I place all the apps I use constantly. So I
rarely use the start menu in the first place so having the icon in the
root isn't a big deal. (with me) I mean that is where Photoshop
installs it's icons at..
Haven't dove into it head first yet, but from first impressions for me,
it seems pretty quick. If it over takes Firefox, then I will REALLY be
impressed! :-D
