IE9 --- Thumbs down after 60 seconds
-
I'm not denying the fact that they may have intentionally strongly coupled a few things here and there with IE such that it becomes an important part of the OS. However, I'd like to give them the benefit of doubt as well. Windows explorer uses the same engine. I do not think there should have been any malicious intent here (as opposed to say, having the common controls updated with each version of IE), because if I were to write two different 'explorers', I'd strongly consider the possibility of both using the same engine. But the users are free to install and use whatever browser (including Google malware) they want, and I don't see the point in installing something that apparently is anyway going to "suck", and then whine about it. Browsers are free, anyway. I personally use Opera though, and I'm very happy with it.

It's sad that Explorer is so needed by Windows. If you kill the last running explorer, everything on your desk top disappears, including the task bar. Complete crap. Can't Windows survive without Explorer. If you want your virus to kill someone's computer, just mess up Explorer.

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Killing explorer and complaining Windows won't show you anything is like removing the wheels off a car and calling it complete crap because it won't move. The wheels are there for a reason, you know? User error. Major fail.

So, i thought i had at least upgrade my IE, get it out of the way. So downloads installer and kicks it off: and it closed everything running to install, reopened them again and then told me to restart computer to use it. :wtf: (Why not just close everything, install and then restart computer as part of the install process). Anyway, took a few sites for a quick spin, Engadget, CP, MSN, and after 60 seconds of this, i thought why did i bother. It's toolbar arrangement, tabs, address bar, all look so dated. The page scrolling is not very pretty, it just feels so X| Think I will be staying with chrome.........

I won't even have it on my machine. I wonder when MS will stop doing browsers? There is no money to be made from them and so many others write them that is seems a waste of resources.

Actually I believe they are getting paid by the spyware/malware/hacker community who would be seriuously hurt if IE were to go away.
