Could be helpful to some, pretty basic stuff. No problem installing it- those whose systems had a hiccup should check their systems, not blame the software. Has a certain usefulness but not very advanced.

It seems MS are working on a fix to fix the fix for the fix it centre. Be patient, Rome was not built in a day.
@softapo7 - Not necessarily, it may not like legitimate & perfectly running certain hardware & or software combinations.

This is hilarious: when i run the setup on XP SP3 I get an error:
"Fix it Center Setup encountered an error"
"An unexpected error has occurred. Please close and try to run Setup again later."
I tried again later, same problem, should I try close to midnight?
C'mon M$, do I have to wait on a release to fix the "Fix it Center"?

I don’t know why BETA, it’s default for Windows 7.
With Fix It Center Microsoft scans and runs a real analysis of the registry and registry related system errors online with their high performance computers that home users don't have and then offers patches, i.e. they attempt to restore the corrupted registry settings to the healthy default, where it is still possible. Fix it does it automatically, alternatively you can choose manual fixing.
There are many other freebies from other developers to fix the registry by restoring the default settings, but only if you know exactly what you need 'cause they don't scan for errors, neither do analyze online, the way Fix it does.
I only gave 4 stars, however, as it is not perfect yet and I expect much more. I hope they will do it.

Well I guess it's ok for those who really need this kind of thing.
It said I had problems with things I didn't have any issues with at all.
I looked at the info for the power shell, I don't want it.
It's been uninstalled along with the silverlight update and the framework 2.0.
Just to be on the safe side, I did a system recovery after uninstalling all of that stuff. I'll wait for the release & try again to see if it's something I really need on my machine.

It worked as advertised for me, corrected an IE8 freeze problem, which apparently was due to a realplayer problem.....

It is a beta, expect it not to be perfect.
Don't pirate software and you won't have to worry about... it might be spying on me...oooooo paranoia.
Oh, and it works on Windows 7 and:
Windows XP SP3
Windows XP Pro (64-bit) SP2
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows Server 2003 SP2
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 R2
Yes, Windows 7 has built in troubleshooters, but this puts in one spot and makes it easier to find for certain people. A little hand holding for the one's who need it; you know who you are.
Raton is right; there is nothing wrong with Powershell, learn how and why to use it, before you complain about it.
Everyone! Have a nice day!:)
