Internet Explorer 7

Victamone · 11-12-2006, 10:09 PM

Who's got it? I was surprised to see its actually out. What do you guys think of it? I think it's actually pretty damn cool. It's basically just copying firefox at this point and time.. but still. The only thing I complain about is that it seems like it's a little bit slower.. but I think that's because its brand new. I'm sure theres still kinks to work out.

You know, now I'm curious. First thing I see on that page is: "We heard you/you wanted it easier and more secure."

MORE SECURE. How much more, now? Firefox level, or just a step up from IE6?
Tabbed browsing: About freakin' time.
Search box: Well, they finally caught on.
RSS Feeds: Okay, that's REALLY slow of them.
Printing: Hey, look, something useful!

Okay, okay, not bad... it's a closed-source Firefox now. I have to commend the people behind this... it's a huge step for IE in the right direction, even if it doesn't seem to surpass Firefox. Now it's less of a laughing stock.

I agree with you. IE 6 ended up having tons of various problems, and this really does look a lot more promising than 6 was.

I'll probably still keep my FireFox, due to its opensource nature, but I think this going to at the very least be worth a try.

I've got the new IE and I like what I see at the moment. I think the tab system is good, although most links open up in new windows anyway so I don't really make use of them. I find that, although it is basically just a copy of FireFox (as in true Microsoft form) all browsers should be like this anyway.

It's about time Microsoft did something drastic like this. It's almost as exciting as when Windows XP first came out and they had changed the visual style...which isn't very exciting, I know...but you get what I mean, people like a change and if they don't, they can just use the old one.

Its got fucked up rendering. Microsoft needs to realize that the year no longer starts with 19 and upgrade to a rendering core that isnt based in 1992.

Wait...I have an amazing idea! Why don't we all club together to buy Microsoft and make it better.

Let's see, Microsoft is worth about $400 billion...and 47,992 BemaniStyle members...so we all pay about $8335 each (£4398 for fellow Britons)

Problem solved...

I have 57 dollars and 30 cents. We need more people.

This would be excellent if Microsoft was only worth 400 million...

As it is, though, I'm calculating that each user owes $8,334,722.46

Sorry to disappoint, but I do not have this much money.

All I can say is, IE7 is a lame Firefox rip-off.

(excuse the X-Play Beatmania reference....)

stuartwood89 · 11-16-2006, 08:57 AM

I got it...how bout we boycot microsoft so that it's worth a lot less, then buy it.

Ok fine...this idea is stupid.

I suppose though, that by the time we have all raised $8335, there'll be more members, so we won't have to pay that much more.

Nahh, don't worry about it...
