You what? IE doesn't support transparent PNG's and Firefox has done for ages.

I've never left IE. It works and it works good so why fix something that works? I'm really looking forward to IE7 just because of transparent pngs.

fix something that works? and in the same sentence you basically acknowledge IE broken png support and its being "fixed" in IE7. If your'e only after Transparent pngs, its available, has been for a while, and its only a click away

So IE7 will have tabs.

Will it have user editable features as readily accessible as about:config, user.js, userContent.css and userChrome.css?

Themes and extensions made by a community of fellow users or commercial add-ons and plug-ins with whatever mal/ad/spyware thrown in?

I will get the Service Pack, of course, but will probably use IE as much as I always have.....seldom, if ever.

It works in the sense that it can browes the web fine, thats what I mean by it works. The PNG support doesn't have anything to do with browsing the web, its just something I would like to see extra, if they werent gona add it I would still use IE.

I like using firefox because it is like saying screw you MS and your "free" browser. I also like supporting open source community developed software. Sometimes it is good to root for the underdawg! There are lots of reasons not to go back to using IE when 7.0 comes out, but these are only some of the ones I could think of.

Firefox or Opera are really good browsers aside from IE. Since 1996, I can say through my watching the NEWS, that since 1996, IE has ALWAYS had the SAME security hole. makes me wonder what MS is upto. Like they purposely put those holes there. :no:

I'll stick with firefox since it's had tab browsing for a long time now. Geez, IE7 will have tab browsing, which leads me to believe MS has fallen way behind it's competitors. :yes:

My personal opinion:

I've tried every other major browser, and i still have firefox on my computer.. but IE has suited me the best and ive been using it since version 3.0

I just hope Microsoft keep some standards of IE6 (they dont completely revamp and baffle users with a totally different interface etc..)

Just hope they can get over all the controversial "security issues" and stuff and of course bring a new strong challenge for the other browsers... for me its Internet Explorer all the way :yes:

Probably not, FireFox is far better than IE.

In your opinion. In the opinion of people who don't care about the nerdy background stuff, and who just want websites to simply work (and yes, a lot more websites work in IE than FF), IE is King.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
