Too bad it's still IE.

Funny thing is, I used each with an unbiased mind; Safari, Chrome, and now IE9, and as usual Microsoft product trumphs all.

Until the 309483094830843903830843 exploits.

[Wild Cobra]

What is it?

Most the holes patched, so MS has to make another piece of shitty software?

[Sense]

lol ie

[MavDynasty]

:lmao ie

[The_Worlds_finest]

For me it goes
1.IE 9
2.Chrome
3.Firefox
4.Safari
X.Opera
6.IE 8

YES IE 8 sucks!

IE 9 loads Gmail faster than chrome!

Microsoft lagged behind and got comfortable with their mediocre products(between XP and 7) The recent emergence of a competitive market has woken the mighty beast!

[ElNono]

Just when they finished patching all the IE 8 holes... lol

microsoft has always been behind the game from the start... they're just better at marketing their crap to the computer illiterate.

microsoft has always been behind the game from the start... they're just better at giving people more than one option.

Did you really just try to say that Microsoft is better at marketing than Apple?

:lol

[lefty]

Crofl

[hater]

Just downloaded it. Looks like chrome, damn copycats.

But it is damn fast. Maybe faster than Chrome.

[Drachen]

It seems logical to me. The company with (comparatively) unlimited resources, when aroused by competition, is going to start making great products. I think I'll stick with Chrome a little longer though. See how this thing works out.

[Venti Quattro]

The browser is rocket fast and efficient but it is too late the hero for Microsoft Corporation, IMO. I wonder what marketing are they going to pull off to reverse this situation. Nobody's going really to give a shit about their new browser technical specs. People are going to care about its usability and they have majorly failed in that criterion for their last 8 browers.

FAN BOY! whatup CryBaby?!

[The_Worlds_finest]

FAN BOY! whatup CryBaby?!

Ill give apple 2 things.
1. Good niche market of suckers.
2. Awesome cases.


The rest of their shit is just that.

[jacobdrj]

Wow. Thanks for the heads up. Did the installation procedure, and got it up and running in no time. It is rivaling Chrome in speed right now.

However, still no spell checker... What gives?

I like the placement of the tabs.

FINALLY AMD64 Flash!!! I am using the AMD64 version of IE9. So cool!

[baseline bum]

I'm guessing there won't be a Linux port.

[koriwhat]

I'm guessing there won't be a Linux port.

doubt it and i also doubt a port to osx since the last time i saw a port was for what ie4? who cares though.

[koriwhat]

Ill give microsoft 2 things.
1. Good niche market of suckers.
2. shitty OS.


The rest of their shit is just that, shit.

[The_Worlds_finest]

I am putting a windows system together that will cost half as much as an Apple and yet be better. So where is this cost difference, the case,the unix based os, or vast library of software,Where is the cost difference. Please help me out? Where is this 1k difference?

i'll give you the fact that apple products are fuckin' expensive but so are acuras to hondas, starburys to nikes, etc...

what i pay for is quality and something that doesn't needlessly bug the shit out of me like winOS. the system can go balls to wall but if it sports a shitty OS then it ain't worth shit to me.

like i've always said, if adobe would already port photoshop and illustrator to linux i would just build computers again and never buy another mac. i will never go back to using shitty ass winOS no matter the version.

[ElNono]

I'm test driving FireFox 4 right now... pretty snappy and looks nice too...

[IronMexican]

Downloading 4 beta.

[IronMexican]

They totally fucked the way the window tabs looked on 7. I don't like how they made it look like IE, where every single tab you have open appears as a window open on the bottom. Very annoying.

I actually like it. The applications are grouped in 7. if you open 10 browser tabs, it will only show if you hover on the application icon.

[resistanze]

The grouping shit is annoying when you need to be alerted by an app on your taskbar. For example, I do some Live chat support at work and I removed grouping so I would know when someone messaged me.

[Cry Havoc]

FAN BOY! whatup CryBaby?!

I'm a fanboy for saying that Apple has better marketing than Windows?

What?

[symple19]

uhhhh, no

[lefty]

New FF UI looks nice


FF has hijacked an IE9 thread

That's serious ownage

[spurs_2108]

going to download FF beta now.

[ElNono]

So far, I'm happy with FF4... I'm going to give Chrome 6 a test too... looks to be the faster of the bunch... I just grew tired of the constant beachball in Safari 5... unbelievable they can play h264 video no problem but it beachballs with an animated gif...
