I bugged this till i was blue in the face, and was assured that it would be
addressed in the final version, but of course,...no.

When you run IE for the first time, and get the
http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx page, the section "Help customize
webpages to your current location" has the radio button defaulting to the
wrong item. Instead of defaulting to my current setting English(Australia),
which matches my locale setting, it defaults to English(US) which is not any
of my locale, keyboard language or layout settings.

I really don't think Microsoft gets it.

This first release is the English release. Go figure.

Worked with UK English and on my other pc, English for Australia.
Anyway, what differences are there if choosing Oz English?
Spellins?

Two issues:
1. you may get incorrectly redirected because your accept language is wrong.
Microsoft.com is a case in point - it uses the language to give you the
correct country information
2. text pasted from the browser into a word processor may be marked with the
wrong language, and then you will get problems with the spell-checker etc
