Which (playing a total "Straight Man") begs the questions:

Is there a plan to update F9 to at least an RC version?
Or, given its known issues, are we just going to have everyone continue
to deal with the beta 5 bugs until the final version releases?

I downloaded RC2 and found that, for some reason, it can't see the
network from my system. Odd...

Cheers,
