I'm going to play with the the beta 2 version of IE7 but ran into an installation problem when the validation process wouldn't work because I'm using Firefox. Not that the work-around was difficult but.....

I made it a little farther, but after one minute of surfing it hung and crashed, which got me thinking, Microsoft finally gets Web 2.0.

Well, I just moved over and opened it in IE6. No bonus points to me for Fighting The Man, but when I did that, it worked fine. As for the product itself, it's very Firefox-like in terms of look/feel and functionality, with tabs and whatnot. So similar that I have forgotten which one I was in a couple of times now. In addition to that stuff, though, they seem to have done something with the clarity of the type, maybe? It seems different and easier to read, somehow. First impressions, but overall so far I like it.

Our O.J. of antitrust is facing increased competition I see for the first time. in what?.... a decade. Some facilitating innovation, quite the contrary thwarting it. Remember Work perfect, Lotus 123, Harvard Graphics, even a game Terminal Velocity was eatten... anything that made a buck, MSFT made a product for it.... and if you use their operating system, which product would you buy to minimize bugs...
Shame because the original PC, Apple never had blue screens of death. Too bad Apple was so protective to allow the IBM-clones to flurish. They had the first graphic interface first too, or was it Sun in a minicomputer environment... Anyways, Unix was naitive to its firmware, the oldest OS out there, one MSFT comparitively more recently entered with its Xbased OS's...hence more stability. MSFT dominates, everything is written for Windows... I recently changed to Firefox the last week or so and love it! Faster browsing than IE. Safer too they say. ...competition can be refreshing, now if only Apple or Linux would furnish serious challenges... innovation and progress is a wonderful thing. Trackbacks
