My OperaWarning Thunderbird users on Windows XP

Message to all Thunderbird users over Windows XP machines:
Update from version 8 to version 9 will kill Thunderbird.
Windows error saying it is impossible to start the application.
Same if you install version 9 from scratch.
It seems Thunderbird 9 fails to register some DLLs and to write some keys in the registry.
I don't know more details right now.
Fix:
Uninstall version 9 and reinstall version 8.
Available here:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/
Edit:
Mozilla has just released v. 9.0.1 which fixes the issue with XP systems.
You can safely update.
If you use the calendar maybe you should double check it then, I am reading of some issues with it.
