yeah i was going to suggest this you get a closer look at the UI in IE7 this way. :yes:

IE 7.0 looks like such a rip off of FF and Safari. Looks like another case of MS profiting off other people's innovations.  I don't care how good people think it is, will be just a cheap rip and theres no way your going to find me using that as prime browser.

If it's a copy of Firefox and Safari, It's going to be good! ;)

Can't wait to ditch firefox for this!  Right now I'm using IE6 with the MSN tabs extention and it's so poorly implemented... I do hope they fix this in IE7!

Can you explain why you are so adiment about 'ditching firefox' for a new version of IE? Did you know the team that worked on the tabs implementation is the same team working on tab implementation for IE? If something works well, why ditch it to go back to something that does not?

...because even though I've been using Firefox for ages... it seems shoddy. I don't know why, I still prefer IE - IE with tabs that work like those in firefox is even better ;)

Axel, as a good sort of temporary solution to tabs in IE I would highly recommend using one of the available IEShell's ... fancy name, but it's only a program that uses IE to render the pages...

take a look @

www.maxthon.com <- what I use

www.avantbrowser.com

IE7 looks GOOOOOOD :) loved to see what msft is doing with RSS !!!

Did you know the team that worked on the tabs implementation is the same team working on tab implementation for IE?

Are you sure about that? To me it just seems that the MSN tab implementation was quite shoddy and nothing like the usual IE standard which is much higher, although by no means user quality like with Firefox.

I remember hearing that tabs in IE would be hard to do without doing a complete architectural remake. Since the MSN toolbar is just a toolbar plugin while IE7 would be an internal upgrade on IE, I would expect the IE7 implementation to be much better.

ROFL. Safari looks much better even though M$ copied them.

*glares at status text*

Don't care if it's copied. Anything will do to replace that 5 (or so) year old UI.

It is/will be very hard to implement tabbed browsing for IE. The MSN toolbar is just an application add-in, and the IE7 team is going to implement it at a much lower-level, but even though the MSN Search team is working separately from the IE7 team, they are getting API assistance from the IE team.

The IE team went to a great length to clarify that what MSN put out did not reflect the progress of the IE7 team because it really didn't wind up being very 'pretty'.

Just saw the Channel9 video. I thought the guy was exagerating when he said that it looked like Safari, but it does look actually like Safari. But partly because in Longhorn the window's titlebar and toolbar become one section instead of the current state of Windows applications where the titlebar and toolbars are separate and with distinct colors. But the RSS implementation looks most like Safari. With the feeds on the left and sorting criteria on the right. And for those who haven't seen it yet, there's an appearance by McHammer.

It's freedom of choice everyone. But here's my take, IE has alot of bloat, fat whatever. I found that I can surf much better in Firefox than IE. Also IE will have jillions of security issues starting off and always will. I've only known Firefox to have one security issue that I know of. IE will have some sort of script issue and issues out the *ss about hackers walking in through the front door or back door of the users system.

Also, IE has and NEVER will allow for a user to adjust the browser like Firefox's "about:config" feature to speed things up a bit.

All I can say is this, almost EVERY security issue I've heard of was because of the Microsoft side of the house.

Wow, the Longhorn team are cruising through build numbers, what people were talking about 5060 a few weeks ago or less, now it's at 5087? It was a bit boring, admitedly watching the ie team talk about some of the RSS features which should just work that way regardless... but eh...

Oh, yeah, IE and MS have totally copied the internet off of Firefox and Safari... I mean like... :shifty: That's how good things are supposed to work... People would never enjoy innovations on a broad scale, EVER if only one company ever did one great thing that made the product good. If this were true, we'd all be using horible products and living in a world where one person happened to have part of what we liked, and one person another...

...get a grip, you would think people would actually get tired of towing that same, IE is copying Firefox line. 10 years after Mozilla you have Firefox and you would have thought that they hatched the internet from a golden egg.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing.

Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
