And a horse to get to work, and candles, and a black and white tv. Move on already.

[-Hiroshi-]

If there was a 2000 x64 I'd still be using it.

I hear ya.. finally upgraded to Vista after procrastinating, dual booting, tweaking and so on. The performance is at a level that I like now, and XP is just an OS that I used in the past and enjoyed, much like when I used Windows 98 and loved it.

[SMELTN]

I think Win7 will be more than just a new taskbar. Sure that's the main focus now, but I expect other new and cool features as well.

I don't know why you would want to use IE anyways. Firefox is where it's at.

LMAO where did that come from Nomad? haha

[ajiu]

it looks the same with 6801??? i mean the ui

[JOHW]

Why wouldn't it look the same? Just minor modifications.

The latest build (6948) can be seen on the Engineering 7 blog

MY bad, quoted the wrong person. I was referring to the discussion about tabbed browsing in IE. IE is at the bottom of my list of browsers I would use.

1. Firefox

2. Chrome

3. Opera

4. Safari

I'm more interested in what your 5 through 98 would be...

[ikonizer]

I know Windows 7 is just in alpha release at the moment, but from what I've seen so far, I'm not in the least bit impressed. I'm even considering downgrading from Vista back to XP.

While I agree that the taskbar looks more polished, I'm curious to see how things will turn out in the final version.

LOL, quoted for truth.

@Nomad77: If you were really serious... other than those five browsers, the rest are just Gecko, Trident, or KHTML (Konqueror) shells. And honestly IE8 beta 2's a worthy contender in the browser wars, get with the times.

@ikonizer: What would "impress" you? Just to save you from the inevitable flaming please do not mention the word "WinFS" or link the two words "new" and "kernel" together. :p

[Nomad77]

I on the other hand am lovin Win 7. It is the best OS i have used and is still pre-beta! It does everything better than xp and vista. I can't wait until it's done.

and why are you not impressed and why would ya downgrade to an outdated OS What do you like to pay good money for hardware and not take advantage of what it can do. unless you seriously have some bad eyes and assume vista not working right for you then go back to XP

[Nomad77]

+RM20010: Are you seriously going to tell me that IE8 is a contender against Firefox 3.1???

If IE8 is the times then I don't want to get anywhere near them.

OMG! People liking and using Windows 2000 should be banned from the Internet and confined to Intranets only!

Don't see why. Maybe it's just because you're very uninformed.

And a horse to get to work, and candles, and a black and white tv. Move on already.

Explain to me the massive difference between 2000 and XP that can make you compare them as if one was a horse and the other a modern car.

[Nomad77]

By the way, every comparison I could find had Firefox 3.1 beating IE8 soundly. Heck even FF 3.02 was beating IE8.

IE8 may have made up a lot of ground from IE7, but that's not saying much considering how bad IE7 is.

[sharp65]

IE7 really isn't that bad, I use it frequently and have no problems with it.

[Quillz]

Explain to me the massive difference between 2000 and XP that can make you compare them as if one was a horse and the other a modern car.

I've never used Windows 2000, but from what I've read, a lot of popular consumer software didn't always run on Windows 2000, and Windows 2000 also lacked a lot of media software that was on the 9x releases like 98 and ME. XP was the first consumer-oriented NT release, which supposedly added a lot of compatibility that the NT line was missing.

Again, I could be totally wrong here, especially seeing as I do know many people who used Windows 2000 with little issue.

IE8 isn't even done and I still prefer it to Firefox. I was never a fan of the Firefox UI, though it is a good, reliable browser. But IE's features like crash recovery, activities, great zoom / high DPI features, and protected mode are all a big deal to me.

[sjaak327]

I do like IE8 as a better IE7. Not a fan of firefox, tab handling is better in IE. I do know that Firefox has more addons, but out of the box, I much prefer IE7 and obviously IE8 above Firefox.

[O.G]

IE8 is rubbish. Call me when it can render a full page of google results.

I suggest you go back a page and read again.

It renders Google results just fine for me.

[O.G]

Strange, Ive asked a few people who've used it an the same happens to them. It will only display maybe 2-5 results, the rest only show after a couple of page refreshes. It doesnt happen with every search but it is frequent and it happens on XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Is that an animated fish on the desktop?

I know you can already animated the desktop in Visa by typing something like following on the command-promt.

do they even make konquerer and the other linux browsers for windows? :o

[George P Global Moderator]

Since I much don't care or use addons any plus to using FF over IE8 is lost on me. I've been running IE8 since beta 1 and it's been doing good for something that's not finished. I also run IEPro for Ad block, and I'm set. My pages render and work fine, so I don't see the need to change. Before this I used Opera, and still have it installed for the heck of it.

But I don't know why browsers came into this anyways, we're talking about Win7.
