Another Problem!!!

When you click the close button (top right), All the windows will close WITHOUT Warning, this is seriously gonna be a problem for people click it on accident, forgetting another they are looking/posting something IMPORTANT, A LOT of time spent over it.

Microsoft need to make sure when people click on that close button, confirm with users that users would like to close down all tabs.

Anyone requesting links to download or sharing links for download will have their posts removed and their warning levels raised. This is not a public beta, so only authorized testers may legally download this.

I heard that IE7 beta is out

Also, Did Microsoft SAY if Non-beta testers finds this, that it's considered Illegal Download?

I wouldn't imagine that it's illegal, perhaps unsafe for Novice users.

I don't even understand how it can be considered Illegal, considering IE is ALWAYS been FREE.

It's like Star Wars Trailer Delimma, Lucasfilm wants to ban everyone who isn't a Hyperspace member to get a hold of their trailer! It's BS!!!

While I think it's great many of you are throwing around bugs you have encountered in this thread, I hope you guys are actually reporting 'em to Microsoft ;)

Not, if we're not official Beta Testers for IE7. :rofl:

Other than that its as bad as always. It seems like they spent most of there time on the horrid interface, RSS Feed, anti phishing and tabs

well technically, it's not being given to all users, since now they have implemented WGA.

I don't think bill gates really cares if vista is leaked. It creates more hype about their product than any news show/website could ever do

Well I think everybody got passed the WGA. So - so much for that. :ninja:

Oh I think Vista is a Completely different story, it cost something as a Final product.

IE, however, is totally Free so a Beta should be Legal, IMHO!!!

Same as any other Free MS products - MSN, etc.

That means something totally differnt, it's copyright.

That means no other company can distribute IE and seek credit/money for it.

But if a Microsoft fan download it and then shares it without temping, why NOT ok?

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

      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

      By Danielx64 · Posted

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