Firefox has really lit a fire at the IE team.  Competition FTW.

Doesn't install on Vista SP1 (I confirmed this) or XP SP3 beta, supposedly

Yeah it shows all green for me too, but it wont install and gives me the service pack error. SP1 and SP3 aren't officially out yet anyway, probably works with the final release versions but not the earlier versions customers may be using currently. Or the installer is just finicky.
