The version 8.5 was a bunch of crap.
It made the whole system a lot slower.
The linkscanner crap, also makes web browsing a pain!
Every link is checked by Internet Explorer antiphishing crap, and AVG linkscanner, making web browsing a horrible experience.
If version 9.0 did not improve in performance and memory footprint, then it would not be worth installing.
