My vote is null and this is why. I would use IE, but it would need more than tabs. I would and will continue to use the browser that suits my needs the best. I don't care who makes it or what it's called. If I feld that Netscape was best for me, I would use Netscape. If I felt that IE was the best for me, I would use IE. This does not mean that what I choose to use is right for everyone, it's what is right for me.

You lot are so negative, Microsoft employ some of the best programmers around so of course IE7 can EASILY be better than Firefox. You got to remember IE6 is 4 years old so you cannot really compare it to the latest browsers.

How were alternative browsers back in 2001 when IE6 was released, no where near as good obviously. So IE7 in my opinion will again raise the standards as far as browsers go, assuming they don't keep most of the features back for Longhorn.

From what I've seen come from Microsoft's programmers, they're not that great. I've seen Apple and Google do more spectacular things in a shorter amount of time.

It realy depends on alot of things for me, if its fast as opera, easy to use, looks good and supports the junk mail feature in hotmail (unlike opera  :angry: ) then i will definately switch, otherwise ill stick to opera.

It doesn't need to look good as theres nothing to look at, its only a web browser. You will be contrating on the web site content not the looks of the browser.

Not so. A streamlined and beautiful UI usually makes a browser easier to use.

Not that great? Hahaha. It is arguable whether they are "the best", but "not that great" is a ****ing joke.

honestly no i won't fpr the simple fact that with such a large installed user base it's always gonna be the target for exploits etc.

been using opera since version 6 and will continue to happily do so...i don't need a browser to revolutionize my life...just do what i need it to do

If MS adds standards support, and beefs up security, and makes it as extensible as firefox/mozilla, i might switch back.

Just a question, why dont you trust open source?

^that sounds like a conversation i had with my teacher hes like i dont trust open source so i dont want to try firefox im like watt? i know there are versions of firefox with viruses and such but mozilla.org is a reliable source but hes like no ill just stick with my IE im like :no:

That ENTIRELY depends on its feature set, which was strangely enough not an option.

I mean, if it sucks, of course I won't use it. I'm not that stupid.

We also have strange options like

"No, I need my mouse gestures and other features"

What if it has mouse gestures then?

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
