I wasn’t even going to mention the beta release of internet explorer, but then I noticed the huge page peel, transparent flash advertisement thing on the information week, ie 7 article. I’ve never seen anything like it. Well, I’ve seen similar, but for some reason I was really quite amazed with this ones presence.
Internet Explorer did at least get RSS right (a little late in the game), taking firefoxes’ live bookmarks idea and making it easier to use with a nice sidebar manager deal. Firefox really requires a third party to make it’s RSS features useful. The ever present empty tab in ie is awful, please get rid of that thing. By the way, to even install the app you’ll need to prove to microsoft that your copy of windows is legit through their active-x nonsense.
Alright, I’m ready to get 6 back on my pc, any ideas? Even better would be to run both. I do remember this hack for running multiple versions of ie at the same time, how long till we can add 7 to that list? And whatever happened to that whole thing where microsoft was only going to release new browsers with updated operating systems?
update:
To revert to Internet Explorer 6, read point 6 on the ie blog FAQ.
