Does anyone know that the phone activation phone number is incorrect? It is listed at activation time as 1-888-725-1047, the number belongs to Ms. Eckleson. Poor Woman.

What is the correct number to activate in the US?

You may already know this but the Netflix queue page is frequently misdiagnosed as a hang. My super long queue probably has something to do with it.

Is "hanging" the same issue as a new tab getting stuck trying to connect but just sits there not doing anything?

Because that's been happening to me on Vista x64 since the IE8 beta and still happens on Windows 7 RC. I thought it might have been the AVG free 8.5 link scanner screwing it up, so I disabled it and it might have solved it, haven't encountered it after a reboot.

I've never been prompted to do anything as a result.

A second thing does there seem to be any known issues with adding rss feeds to the IEAK for IE 8 and them not showing up if you deploy thorough SMS.

The feed appears fine if I go the the file share and run the installer, but if I test the deployment thrugh SMS it fails to add the feed but the rest of my branding works fine WFT??

@mocax

I'd like to find out more about your RSS syncing issue and see if I can help you resolve this, or get a bug created if it's a new issue. You may contact me at rezanour@microsoft.com

Thanks,

@nice_one :

No, it'sn't an "Epic Fail". They wanted to have some telemetrics data about the hangs, now they have, so they can disable the "unfinished" feature until they will make it 'ready to manufacture'.

So.....

The feature was an Epic Fail?

Glad time was wasted on this rather than fixing IE bugs that have existed in IE since IE6.

Wouldn't want to focus on what's important rather than "PR Candy" for our next media conference.

i noticed that RSS feeds in IE8 for windows 7 don't get automatically updated until i kickstart the RSS update by manually clicking "refresh all"

but it's working correctly in IE8 for Windows XP.
