chavo Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Oh yes! IE is back! They will fix the UI before final. That is what beta testing is for. HELLO! Will they fix the rendering engine? Who knows.

wutang01 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I don't use FireFox anymore either ... IE7 is great. In fact, I'm writing this post in IE7 ... Love it. Looking forward to its full potential in final version ... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Battery Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 O.k.....cheap $2 radio versus what from Moz?? Nothing, the ability to help the "community":DD? suckersssssssssssss:D:D 586290475[/snapback] Well not really suckers as they have got a lot of features they asked for while Microsoft have people like you defending their every move while not getting much at all in browser enhancement for years. :whistle:e: I'm not a fan of any browser really, I use ie6 most of the time and firefox occasionally.

MrPhun Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 i like it, the phishing filter is useless, but the tabs are implemented nicely, the rss feature is nice, the search bar is also very useful, and really gives me no purpose to have the google toolbar. although i'd like to see some sort of drop down menu ability from your links toolbar, aside from all of that, it'd be perfect (imo) if only the menu was above the navigation toolbar/address bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvbfan Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Stinks? No. Need polishing and a few more features? Yes Also. Is it Beta? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Zollo Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'm not very impressed with it, the user interface is just plain horrible. But hey, it's a beta! This is exactly why Microsoft didn't want a widespread beta 1, they knew people were going to bash their unfinished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJediMedia Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) Three things I so far Hate about the new IE7 most. Other things, not much big deal yet. These COULD be considered BUGs, or just very annoying things that I would like to be fixed by Microsoft! 1. There a big gap for every site in the links. That's what I don't like... :no: http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/9749/in...rer7beta3wq.jpg See the BIG space between NASA and movies? That is UGLY as hell! :pinch: 2. When you click the close button (top right), All the windows will close WITHOUT Warning :| Microsoft need to make sure when people click on that close button, confirm with users that users would like to close down ALL tabs. Cuz, I KNOW people would make mistakes and sometimes click on it by accident, and they didn't want to close all the tabs! Right? :yes: 3. There is just something weird with Menu not at the Topmost. I tried, and couldn't move it to the top. :( Oh man, I gotta get used to NOT Alt-Tab anymore... I am still doing it alot LOL :p And my wishlist for update/next version... GOTTA GOTTA GOTTA support this https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=350355 I am Swearing that if Microsoft does not do that by next release, I am gonna switch until it Does!

pingloss Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Arrrggghhh. This is Beta 1. That means it's nowhere near ready. It means your supposed to be concentrating on how the app works and how it reacts with websites etc. NOT how the frigging interface looks. It's been stated so many times now that this is not how the end product is going to look. It will be helped to be moulded and shaped by the input of beta testers etc. This is why it's also a closed beta at the moment, it's not supposed to be for public consumption yet. So please stop moaning . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Wilson Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 people bash anything thats microsoft, they just feel they need to because its microsoft. Its beta, its meant to be limited so twats cant download it and whine like you all are now. If you dont like it, dont use it PERIOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono3000 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Couple Issues - the "feeds" remains greyed out the whole time (i thought it was meant to go red when you visit a site with an RSS feed available) - cant see anyway to create a group of favourites to open in tabs at once - The links in the "Web Feeds" favourites folder do not all work (ammusingly the IE Blog link :no: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingloss Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Me or OP? 586291184[/snapback] No, not you. You have vaild points there in the way you think IE should work ie. the close button. That's the kinda things that people should be concentrating on right now. Not 'Oooh the buttons are too big and not the right colour'. Functionality is were we should be look at, looks will come later once the true interface appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myst Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 In my opinion it looks horrible. I only like the tabbed browsing and rss features added, the rest is just a shabby makeover imo :/ :laugh: 586289983[/snapback] In my opinion it sucks a lot. Its so horrible man i dont know. :cry: :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJediMedia Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I wouldn't call it stink, but I would say it's not as good as some other browsers... Hell, I don't even know why I am still using IE, but I do, for some strange reason I use IE instead of Firefox, even though FF is much more capable.

BigCheese Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I really like it. If they tweak the interface and features a bit more and add more standards support, it will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan_X Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 You know what is funny. Microsoft only allows MSDN subscribers to download this app. What is so special about it. The Mozilla foundation allows anyone with a PC to download their beta software and offer feedback. This sounds a little cocky to me from Microsoft. Looks like their going back to their old ways, when new software is getting ready to ship. Remember the cheap $2.00 radios we all got for beta testing Office 2003. I still havn't forgiven them for that slap in the face for all my hard work. Stick with Firefox people. :) 586290337[/snapback] I'd got more than $14.000 on free stuff and other freebies from Microsoft since I started testing for Microsoft back on 1998. I?d been giving almost every one and single thing they ask me to test and you know why? Because I?m there to test and I never ask for free stuff, I submit quality bug reports and suggestions and this how they know who is a better tester than other. Stop crying and go do your stuff, if you think you are that good you?ll be in the top 20 of the people testing if not you?re just there as an spec:angry: ::no:y: :no: BTW, I?d been giving about 5 boxes of Microsoft Office 2003, 4 of Windows XP Pro, more than 12 games for Xbox and PC, 2 sets of keyboard/mouse, one wireless base station and the Xbox wireless adapter, 1 MSN TV2 unit, 1 PC to test MCE, plus free trips to Redmond, LA and NYC with everything paid by the :devil:??:laugh:il:rofl:ug:woot:ofl: :woot: :whistle:: :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porp Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I love it, switched from Opera / FireFox (was seeing which I prefered).. But I love the Anti-Phishing feature in Internet Explorer (Great for an eBayer, like me) and all the other new features.. Tabbed browsing works great, runs like a charm.

TheWahbinator Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I need to get used to the interface if I am going to switch, since it's a big step from any other IE version. So untill Beta 2 or the RCs, I don't think I'm sticking with it for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGM92 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I hate the new address bar, it can't be moved I'd like to have my Icons ABOVE the address bar along with the File Edit etc buttons, the tab feature is nice, but it's still no firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
