All of this competition is making me happy, AMD's soon-to-be released CPU's, MS entering the competition with new browsers, Nvidia trying to pump out a card as fast as the 6990!!

This year and next look very promising, well maybe not next if everything turns out to be true (2012) but still looking forward to it!
 
Damn ... i wont buy a new version of windows , just because microshit noesnt want to update the old platform of xp ... firefox chrome or opera ... realy i dont care ... its better than IE ... any version ... Or a better chioice ... Linux? simply ubuntu..
 
[citation][nom]svdb[/nom]When you work for a corporation that still forces IE6/7/8 on you, you don't have a choice and all you can do is vent.[/citation]
I'm in the same boat. My company has web tools that do not work on anything later than IE8.
 
[citation][nom]edilee[/nom]All I can say is FF4, IE9, Chrome 10, and latest Opera are all good browsers but I do and always have preferred IE but I do use all for different types of browsing...for instance I am on FF4 now because I can't post comments with IE9 here LOL. This site has a whole plethora of issues and all broswers have randomly had the same issue but IE9 is a definate no go for this site. [/citation]

Use the compatability mode - that fixes it for me (the compatability button is at the right end of the search/address bar).

 
[citation][nom]razorblaze42[/nom]IE10? lol this is a clear sign the IE9 is already a failure. What Microsoft needs to do to concertrate on allowing users to customized thier browser looks rather than forcing them to accept a butt ugly browser. I will not be upgrading to IE9 as long as it remains in its current rigid form factor. Improve perfomance and stop changing the dam UI for the hell of it... moving my dam favorites windows...you bastards.nonsense. Seriously.[/citation]

For a start off, no - just no. By that kind of ridiculous logic, Firefox 4 has been a failure too. And Chrome 10. I sense you're just acting like a clot for the sake of acting like a clot - I'm surprised you didn't spell Microsoft with a '$', quite frankly.

Secondly, you're telling Microsoft to concentrate on making IE more customizable and then in the very same paragraph telling them to stop focusing on UI and to concentrate on performance instead. In the words of Mr. Furley; "What's'a' goin' on here?!"
 
[citation][nom]cadder[/nom]I do not use IE because it is not secure. I don't care if it is fast or not fast, that normally doesn't mean anything in day to day use.I would think that MS would be in the best position of all browser writers to create a secure browser, but for some reason they don't care about security.[/citation]

Ofcorse its not secure, thats why most of the proffessional enterprices use it /end sarcasm
 
[citation][nom]razorblaze42[/nom]Really? Can you also get rid of that huge ugly back button? or favorites to "permanently" default to the left side of the screen like IE8? Can you move the pop up notifications to the top of the screen instead of the bottom?P.S. Dear Microsoft can you get the User Interface of IE8 and the performance improvements of IE9? That would really make me happy.[/citation]

all garbage i instantly turn off.. my browser has a address bar and to the right stupid tab windows. the rest gets removed as garbage. o yeah i normally remove the forward back buttons to but alast i cant find out how if there is a way.

@damian & cadder you two are freaking out of your goddamn minds. Use some damn logic. neither of you make any sense at all. especially damian who apparently doesn't know that when something comes out its successor is already being developed. Either that or hes calling every OS and every browser made a failure.

All i see is people bitching about MS moving to slow then MS moving to fast or the old OS is better then the new one cuz I'm to much of a cheap ass to upgrade a couple things so ill bitch about it. ffs the hate MS bandwagon is starting to get ridiculous. If you want a fruity stupidly overdone browser just go download firefox ffs and go away.

[citation][nom]reprotected[/nom]IE9 is a failure because my computer fails to boot after it's installs on my VISTA.[/citation]

Sounds more like your the failure :) i installed IE 9 on 3 of my vista box's with no issue.
 
[citation][nom]cadder[/nom]I do not use IE because it is not secure. for some reason they don't care about security[/citation]

It really irks me when people go on about Internet Explorer being insecure who likely have absolutely no idea what they're even talking about with regards to software development and security, and who only say it because their best buddy who's "good with computers" (translation: also pretty clueless) told them it is.

Know your facts before you accuse Internet Explorer of being 'insecure', or Microsoft of not caring about security.

Question, just out of interest - is IE9 still interlinked with the OS like previous versions of IE?
 
I use FF4 and it's awesome. BUT, i have IE9 too, and it's awesome too. People bitching about IE9 clearly are fanboys, if not, then stupid. I don't see anything bad about IE9 that ppl can complain. I only use FF4 cos of it's addons. I find IE9 boots up faster and loads pages faster than FF4.
 
[citation][nom]razorblaze42[/nom]IE10? lol this is a clear sign the IE9 is already a failure.[/citation]
You mean the same way FF5 was announced less than a month after FF4?
That kind of failure?

You are a major idiot
