I upgraded my PC to Windows 7 64-bit and I'm using IE 8. At start up I get a MS IE 8 welcome pop-up message to see all the new features and I have to close it out. I even went through some of their new features to see if it would stop popping up. It keeps popping up at start up...how can I disable this annoying pop-up at start up?

Also, is IE 9 still beta or do they have the bugs out? MS says it runs faster and leaner. Half the time I use Mozilla.

Thanks,
Mike
