If you have not noticed, Yahoo Mail, will not work because it detects it as a incompatible browser, so does launch (witch my gf cant live with out) and there will be other sites with the same problem.. so to fix it in the group policy editor goto user settings, software, internet exploer, connections, user strings and in there you can type in (what it says for ie6) and whala it works.. i have a screen cap on page 15 in Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1....

I am extremely impressed with IE 7 beta 1. They seem to have put a lot of work into making sure they give us the fastest, most user friendly and most useful browser available. Streets ahead of firefox! Good job Microsoft!

i really dont get all the people saying its amazing. this beta has gotta be one of the worst things ive seen, it could have done so much more but hasnt its still lagging WAY behind in terms of web standards... they are there for a reason.

the user interface is just plain ass, they attempted to copy parts of firefox ui, but aint done a good job of it. for example the yellow address bar on secure sites... come on be original firefox has been doing that for almost a year. ive seen better ui's that a 5 year old has made in vb, all the bars should be moveable not have the file menu as the third one down. btw the image that someone showed back a few pages isnt ie, its firefox skinned to look like ie.

so what bugs have they fixed guillotine and peekaboo, the 3mm bug still exists. dont quite see how its taken them so long to fix them.

what improvments to the rendering engine, well theres those 2 bug fixes... and png alpha support. thats it. no updates to css so for any designers that means no child selector support (>), no hover (:hover), no after or befor (:after, :before), just a couple that i thought ie would have to include just to bring them back up to being a viable browser, but nope nothing. it still cant even handle xhtml.

i understand its a beta but ffs ie6 with the msn toolbar is far far better looking and works far far better.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
