apparently anyone who dared not have their settings as US English is having problems.

Was fine for me with UK settings.

Hence the use of apparently. I am also using UK english and make a point of deleting the US option on installation.
Nonetheless I find the program itself disagreeable, plus according to that article it is also rather flakey on Macs. Dear me.

Stuck this on the computer at work.
It didn't want to know, couldn't even get the interface up before it fell over.
Stuck this on the computer I'm on now.
It loads and runs, but it doesn't load any faster than any other browser I've got, in fact its the slowest of the lot on my computer between IE7 and Firefox 2.
Oh yeah, it imported all the bookmarks but insisted on sticking them in a "Imported Netscape/Mozilla Favorites" folder, plus one had to double-click them to get them to load and they don't show up right away anyway.
It seems to have the same issues with font sizes that Opera does. Opera insists on displaying everything too small or too big that works the same way in Firefox and IE6/7.
I don't like this interface though, and the program isn't all that configurable. Hopefully this'll change but I sure hope it'll be skinnable as that grey interface looks odd next to the blue taskbar of XP Luna.

Strange that they chose to give it the brushed metal look, since they just announced it was going in the bin come October

You randomly watched the keynote presentation too then.. Core animation looks nifty, entirely useless, but nifty none the less. I also like that you can search other computers on a network and share files, two things PC's have never been able to do... Oh and they use a random picture of grass as a desktop background... thats original.

I don't have a look resembling metal which has been brushed.

It updated itself the other day, however its just as bad as ever.
I see no reason to keep i on my computer, its a bad enough browser on Mac let alone on Windows.
