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.

    • 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.
