Re: for anyone who is interested...Internet Explor

new features:

Over the last ten years, the intensity of web usage and people's reliance on the web has increased dramatically. The evolution of the web has introduced a new set of opportunities, immersive experiences, online services, and standards. Daily life without the web is simply hard for many people to imagine.

With this intensity and reliance, web developers and designers face an evolving set of needs including:

Interoperability and compatibility

Built-in tools that help both first time and experienced developers and designers get pages built right

Browser capabilities that enable innovative experiences

Internet Explorer 8 will take the web experience beyond the page and introduce a new way to seamlessly experience the best of the web, whether you are a web developer writing to standards or a user discovering a new online service. Reach Beyond the Page
Faster, Easier
Peace of Mind
Activities

Activities are contextual services that provide quick access to external services from any webpage. Activities typically involve one of two types of actions:

"Look up" information related to data in the current webpage

"Send" content from the current webpage to another application






WebSlices

Web sites can expose portions of their page as a WebSlice, which users can subscribe to. And users can bring that content with them on their links bar wherever they are on the web. Users receive update notifications when the content changes. Learn more.

all in all....its basically the same sh*t with more stuff we dont need.
 
Re: for anyone who is interested...Internet Explor

this is the best feature they could possibly make:
"
Cascading style sheets 2.1 compliance

The Internet Explorer 8 layout engine is built to be cascading style sheets 2.1 compliant, enabling web developers and designers to write their pages once and have them render properly across all cascading style sheets 2.1 compatible browsers. However, Microsoft is not finished—hence, Microsoft is seeking feedback from developers working with Internet Explorer 8 Developer Beta 1."

if they do in fact get that to work, CSS will work on IE, so web developers won't have to find hacks to make CSS work for IE, b/c currently, a lot of it doesn't.

hence firefox > ie.
 
Re: for anyone who is interested...Internet Explor

haha its crashed every time I've launched it, within the first (less than a) minute of starting it up, all I'm trying to do is check my email in msn but even then it crashes. awesome.

Re: for anyone who is interested...Internet Explor

I use Firefox 3 as well, I just wanted to try the new IE8 and see if they improved the fail, i guess not.

Atleast it's not like a Mac, it appears to work but you realize it supports nothing.
 
Re: for anyone who is interested...Internet Explor

Meh, I use IE7 and I have no reason to switch to FireFox. I might try this, once it's complete.

Re: for anyone who is interested...Internet Explor

lol IE8 is a beta. beta1. perhaps so many people wanted it they just released it before they even finished some of the code.
