Added note: 8.1.1 even with all of the javascript & other wizbang
options that I can think of to turn off (which I always do w/AR) the
initial startup takes at least twice as long to load than 7.09. The
interface comes up quickly, but then you have to wait for about 10 sec
of disk thrashing before you can even enter a File|Open menu. Menu &
toolbar appearances are crappy (IMO) compared to 7.09, and the standard
sidebars (Search/Pages/Attachments etc) just plain suck (again in my
opinion). So... it works, but can't say that I'd recommend it over 7.09
with the exception of security fixes etc.
