IE 7 is uninstalled. IE 6.0 SP2 appears to be working with no issues.

And no I won't stop complaining about the UI. It sucks. Plain and simple. When it takes me a couple of minutes to figure out how to find something...it is poorly designed. Simple as that.

Why don't you complain to someone who cares, say Microsoft perhaps? There IS a way to send feedback to them, I suggest you do so.

You shouldn't have to readd it. It should be there by default.

Well personally I like it better without it, but some un-tech savvy people need it. Most of the functions are in the Tools button anyway.

It's about time people learn to re-adapt to a different GUI. People always whine about lack of innovation. Here it is, get used to it.

Firefox still works, loads and navigates faster than IE7 Beta. Though when it comes to usability, it looks like both are on the same page now. Good work Microsoft. Looks like IE7 will start taking back some of the terrain it has been loosing for years now.

:rolleyes:

is there no way to get rid of the giant backward/forward icons or remove the whole row of icons on bottom? I can't get rid of the favorites add/subscribe icons. Also, I can't even move the toolbars.

Can't seem to find a way to get rid of the back/forward, but the row on the bottom you can take off by going View - and uncheck Status Bar

hmm everytime i click a link it seems to want me to connect to the internet even though im already connected :s and i dont really see any point installing this if it doesnt support live mail thats kinda dumb.

Live Mail works fine for me under this build.

sorry, i didn't mean the status bar. i meant the 2nd row installed with all the small icons.

Oh sorry :blush: Hit those double arrows and go to Tools - Toolbars - Customize, and you can deleate all of those little icons. Still haven't figured out the Favorites on the left though, sorry.

I don't know about you guys, but whoever designed the UI should be shot.

1) No menu bar? That is going to confuse everyone. Not everyone knows that ctrl-c is copy for example. Not everyone is going to know how to turn it on.

2) Buttons scattered all over the place...no consistancy at all, requiring lots of mouse movement and guess work in order to find which button to use

Still trying it out, but the UI is very unimpressive.

you can get your menu bar back by pressing alt. just thought I'd give you the heads up.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
