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!

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
