Yawn,

I dont understand why Micro* cant come up with anything different! I want a browser that has nothing to do with the Operating System... IE Firefox. Why cant they just build something different from the bottom up? It shi*s me to tears how they can just add things on, "Added" new buttons "Added" new tab browsing. Sorry but once IE7 updates on my PC, i'll just turn it off again and continue using Mozilla.

Cheers

James

Yeah :o Why even bother waiting til it comes out, why even bother trying it first. Of course FF will be better, Of course EVERYTHING will be better :o I wish all i had on my computer was FF. I wish FF was an operating sytem too :(

It makes me so happy to know that so many people have a buddy at Microsoft. That tells me that there is a chance that someone's buddy might know someone who can find out what cannot be found out. For those who are not so lucky to have a buddy at Microsoft (and NO, I do NOT work for or AT Microsoft) you can check out SourceForge.net and find out a lot of information from developers and the like. I am a member there; and for those who might wonder, I am a Professor of Graduate Studies.

you ruined it :no:  now go sit in a corner and thing about how lame that was.

Damn no sence of humor here, it was just a joke.

It was true that back in the 80's worked on a OS called Xenix a unix like OS

:laugh:

Microsoft timeline

One thing you can be 110% assured of... No matter how long in ALPHA testing, and then in BETA testing, the final version will still have more bugs than a dog at a flea circus. The REAL TESTING of the product begins, once the general public gets their hands on the product. Only then will the real bugs come to the surface.

Who cares. If it still has ActiveX it will still be as insecure as every other IE release. The boys at Microsoft need to rebuild this thing from the ground up. If that doesn't happen, it will be a waste of everyone's time. Think of every update that IE has had in the last couple of years. Those updates were like putting new tires on a 10 year old car, which means, you have the same old car with a little better traction.

You expect the old dawg attitude in Redmond to be able to learn a new trick? I am not surprised they are not hard at work to purchase the rights to Firefox and put their name on it. That is the Redmond way!

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
