Have you tried it yet?

Does the Win7 version include flash?

Just installed it on a test machine.

Going fine so far. Any questions or tests people want me to run let me know.

It does not come with Flash pre-installed.

Just installed and it's broke my Windows Aero, I'm only getting a Basic theme.

Seems to be problem caused because I'm running a portrait monitor. Can't seem to find a fix at the minute, most annoying!

Possible bug....Apple Updates won't work. You get a message saying "The Apple update server can't be found. Check your Internet settings and try again."

Erm... No proxy server is ticked. Worked fine before the IE 10 update.

I'll wait for it to hit Windows Update.

Not having that option is a shame.

Works fine now must have been the Apple update servers down or an issue with DNS. No problems so far.

Just installed it, win7x64, no issues to report at this time.

Edit: it definitely feels a bit snappier.

Are you 100% sure on that?

It appears not. Windows 8 yes but Windows 7 no. It would have been really handy for me to have the option of Flash updates via WU.

Hi can you test flash video performance between IE9 and 10 (mainly cpu utilisation) as I use my PC mainly for NBA league pass which uses flash, thanks

Tomtom3989 · 26 Feb 2013 at 21:05

i use NBA league pass too, just wish the quality was better than 720 at 30fps. would the quality of the flash video vary from ie to firefox

teenwolf · 26 Feb 2013 at 21:06

i never use IE feels very laggy

I run it using a HP microserver with a GT520 GPU, it maxes out the CPU with Chrome but IE9 sits around 70% utilisation. The picture seems OK on IE especially compared to things like sky go. Its pretty good for a streamed quality even on my 46: tv imo.
