As you can see from this new style folder view, when you unleash Internet Explorer 4.0 Platform Preview on your Desktop you get an operating system overhaul as well as an all-new browser. However, you may also unleash system instability and a raft of other problems if you're not prepared to deal with software that is very much in the testing phase.
Platform Preview: Be warned!
This is the latest beta version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 4.0. While it is available for public use be aware that this is still a beta product and could cause damage to your system.
