I presume he meant 'It's nice being able to view Neowin on Xbox IE.' not that it looks any differently.

It looks really good at 40" with same crisp text as 27" monitor. All sites do but the Neowin redesign is particularly good looking at that size and with IE's rendering. The great scaling is a result of Neowin's design.

Yeah it looks good but scrolling is crap. It doesn't scroll smoothly.

Agreed.

Probably the same as it does on a 1366x768 monitor, just larger.

I can't answer the question as my TVs and Monitors are all 1080p but if memory serves, there's a humongous difference in readability of text and clarity of images from 720pish to 1080p. Particularly text. What I can say is IEs rendering of fonts and everything else is pretty impressive as compared to other console browsers I've experienced.

The PS3 browser is pants (though now it uses Webkit, it's bearable than its older NetFront predecessor. But not by much), so I'd hope IE on Xbox would be better :p

I'm curious as to how it handles Flash content. Pretty well I hope?

Newsflash: There is no flash. :p

Presumably you can only use IE with a gold membership?

Haven't heard anything about that. It's highly possible given their track record but I just don't know. Depends on their goal I suppose.

I never understood browsers on game consoles :/

To be honest, I probably won't actually use it with a PC. But I think there are many with consoled but no PC. And it was quite a bit easier to navigate than other consoled browsers. Of course, I have a chatpad as well which helps. Pinning favs makes it easy to reuse. Dropping things like Flash is a nuisance but I think a must on a console. Can't have weekly patches for an insecure plugin going out on consoles. Having said that, it could be coming later, it's coming to Windows 8.

You're whole post is, "That's all?" Most forums would have this thread locked...

Lol, maybe. I don't think about those things too much, but the post did start in the title as Rudy pointed out. Seriously though, it is under NDA or I would have written a lot more.

If it's under NDA you shouldn't have said anything at all. ;)

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
