IE8 Beta 2

[tonymadge]

Just downloaded the latest IE and giving it a try anyone else using it and if so thoughts??

[TSR2]

Haven't tried it yet Tony, but I will be trying it on the flying PC. Can't use it on the work laptop as I need IE7 for some of the things for work. I like the idea of the privacy settings. I must say I really don't like the amount of info that Google collect (and sell) on the people who use their products, so don't intend to even try their one.

well so far on the laptop it seems to work very well, early days yet

Using IE8 with no probs (XP sp3 etc) and it fits very well. Tried the Google version but dumped it after 10 minutes as it was not intuative enough.

For those of us who have difficulty with Microsoft (and don't we all) remember how tricky it would be developing freeware for numerous O/S's and varying Flight Sims.

I'll wait a couple of months after the official release.

Next OS will have IE9 as it's a totally new OS concept (well, kinda. It's really a return to the old way of doing things - OS & GUI are separate modules and the whole thing is scalable to fit the hardware, but with a lot of cool new GUI and Human Interface stuff available if you have the hardware to run it).

The odd thing is the Dinosaur was far more intellegent than folk give credit for, in fact they were around on the Earth a lot longer then we will ever be..pity these modern managers did not think of that before thay state your a dino if you question their modern wonderful ways of cocking things up
