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.

    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.

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

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch labeled "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible. Awesome idea!
