i want to be able to move it back to the top, why on earth wouldnt ms allow this, i thought they learnt this with the awful reviews of beta 1, thought they would have seen the light that we dont like being told what to do!

dont like it at all, gunna stick with firefox 1.5

1 tab - 28mb

2 tabs - 30mb

i like the efficient ram usage, thats it though.

Guess I'm going to have to format and reinstall tonight. If anyone can help me out, whenever I attempt to middle click open a new link in a tab, a blank page comes up. Also when I try to add a page to my favorites, it says that a class isn't registered. If you guys happen to know which class or which .dll file is the file that utilizes adding favorites and opening new pages, let me know. Or if you guys know how to re-register every single .dll file on a computer let me know too!

IE 7 also includes a number of new features for Web developers, including support for up-and-coming Web-programming technologies known collectively as AJAX.

WTF?

AJAX is Javascript that uses XMLHttpRequest - a technology that Microsoft invented and other browsers cloned from IE. The first AJAX application was Outlook Web Access.

beta 2 will be stable, the 5299 will be work done since this build went final on 25th or whatever the build time for this was. gunna stick with this until final is out. not gunna use it though, i have to when i view new mail from msn messenger though, even though firefox is default browser, that wasnt part of their antitrust agreement, only open in ie!!

It's no big amazement that it's an older version. Microsoft always releases older builds to the public. It's because those builds have gone through more testing, the newer builds are current dev builds while this one is one that was chosen to undergo extensive testing to make it usable by the public. They do it with every public (and for that matter private) beta they release. It's nothing new.

One other thing. I was reading through this thread and I noticed several times when someone would complain about something, there would frequently be someone following up behind them to stop complaining. How about you shut the hell up and let someone have an opinion ok? If someone doesn't like something, they are more than welcome to say so and bring it up as discussion with other people who are capable of a mature conversation. :no:

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.

the IE 7 beta 2 preview UI is not the finale UI i just watched the channel 9 video wher they siad it is not the finale ther is still some tweaking to do . and also as far as i knwo ya cna get the file edit tools and sutch back.

If anyone knows how to make a search thingy for English Wikipedia and IMDB UK I'd be very greatful. WLM invites can be given if anybody actually needs them anymore...

That kinda explains how to do it...

I believe it's a compatibility problem related to tabs. Certain IE add-ons make assumptions about the IE window, and because of tabbing - the "classic" menus have to be below the tabs. However, I could be wrong about that - but I seem to remember hearing that as the reason back in beta 1. Perhaps they'll find a way around it before the final release.

I think what they're trying to do is replicate all that functionality with the icon-menu things you see in the button bar. That way the "classic" menus could just be hidden unless needed (like if you pressed ALT).

Don't quote me on this though, these are just observations and I don't know any details about their actual UI plans.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
