ew

cant they move the address bar below the 'file and edit menus..'? it looks disgusting like that.

Some of the options, like warning when closing IE with tabs open, should help quiet the naysayers. I personally can't wait.

good features, poor looks and layout

[Mr. Dee]

Beautiful Installer.

[viciv]

it looks nice:)

[JustGeorge]

So have they decided if non-elites will be allowed to test this thing or is this simply another steak dangling?

[SidVicious]

Looks nice.

[qdave]

yeha nice layout. looks better then beta 1.

[Orange Battery]

Do they give us any power to organise favorites by date or anything yet? Im currently on the version thats with Vista 5270 and it has no improvments over ie6 in xp for my needs apart from tabs.

[mad_onion]

yeah it looks nice i guess, i know i will be using it, and supposedly beta 2 is public for everyone which is great :)

[Slimy]

Can't wait! Looking good, xcept the menubar :no:

That about covers it.

It does look pretty messy, but bear in mind that the Google toolbar contributes to the mess and not everyone uses it.

The thing is that they locked it here to block any kind of spoofing of the AdressBar...

Exactly. The google toolbar is such a waste with built-in search compatibility in every browser :p

I think you can turn it off to hide it. Well I hope so. This would be in keeping with Vista's window layouts where the menu bars (File, Edit, View etc) are hidden by default and you can choose to display them.

E.g.

I like that feature that puts preview of every tab into a single page and it's nice to see finally improvement in the damn browser.

If it wasn't for browsers like Opera and especially Firefox, IE would of been the same as now in Vista :p

luckly you wont have to WASTE your time downloading it in vista!

so IE was just supposed to sit at a stand still and not add any new features that people wanted?

way to turn a thought into a poorly spelled, and poorly conveyed post.

Do you really want people to start naming all the features in ie that opera and firefox "ripped" off from it? Do you really want to talk about how netscape and ie ripped features off each other during the first browser battle? Progress is progress. If there wasn't any "ripping" browsers wouldn't be browsers, because they wouldn't do the same thing.

Excellent, I think the interface looks good.

You're right; Internet Explorer has been ripping off ideas of other browsers for years. First there was the address bar, Favorites menu, the ability to actually render HTML pages, toolbar, menu, God when have the IE team actually come up with their own features.

Actually wait no.

I'm sure you're one of the people that complains every time a company sues another company that uses a technology that they have a patent on, yet when Microsoft tries to implement some standard functionality that all products have and everyone is used to you bitch and whine.

I could go on for ages but I fear that talking a classic troll like yourself would be about as useful and talking to a cinder block.

You might try reattaching yourself with the real world where an attitude like yours won't get you very far in the IT (or any) industry.

Phishing filter is an innovation, same for Quick tabs feature.
