What's the deal with IE6?
-
I've just downloaded IE 6, and I don't find a lot of difference with version 5.5. The personnal bar is new, as some of couples of new explorer bars, the privacy preferences can that blocks cookies, but what else??? I don't see anything new, only little things. I guess this should be called 'Internet Explorer 5.6'. Frank

Seems like a lot of changes according to Microsoft. Although I don't see major improvements myself. -- Alex Marbus www.marbus.net

I think most of the changes are internal, better W3C standards conformance, etc... Of course MS has to make lots of "pretty" changes in order to make people think anything is actually changing, which is sad really. If MS simply improved the product without a lot of visual changes, people would assume nothing happened. This is precisely what happened with Win98SE. There were a ton of internal changes, but nearly nothing that you could see by looking at it, so people assumed it was just MS stiffing us for no benefit.

>>If MS simply improved the product without a lot of visual changes, people would assume nothing happened. I don't know about you guys, but when I was consulting that was the hardest lession I ever learned. I would have to mix up my work ethic to include visual changes while I was working on some background infrastructure. Unless there were visual improvements constantly throughout the project, the users would say the team was screwing off and not doing a think. Three days of UI cleanup would constitute "more" work than the month of actual development..... Blah!

486/66 MHz processor (Pentium processor recommended) Windows Millennium Edition: 32 MB of RAM minimum Full install size: 11.6 MB :eek: Am I mistaken or does WinME not need a min. of a 150MHz processor to run?... and what about Win2K... can it be done?:confused: Have a good one, -Ben "Its funny when you stop doing things because they’re wrong, but because you might get caught." - Unknown

The icon in the statusbar, indicating a security-issue on some websites is very annoying. (Or maybe I'm visiting the wrong sites :)) -- Alex Marbus www.marbus.net But then again, I could be wrong.
