IE8? Already? Good grief. We haven't fully rolled out IE7 yet. Now they went and made a new version? Is there a beta for version 8 yet? I would love to see what it looks like? Maybe it looks like the Office 2007 setup. Who knows. Either way it should be cool.
They are makeing some changes.I read it some where on msdn blog. And no beta of IE8 is released so fer ..
Yeah. That makes more sense. They are probably six months from a beta release, and then another year past that date from releasing the actual final version. I think they might be upping their software life cycles. Instead of waiting a long time to release something to the public they are already publicly working on the next version of a product before most people even have the prior version rolled out. I even heard about the xbox 720 a few months ago.
I use IE at home most of the time, and Firefox in school since its on most of the PCs in my Computer Science class.
I use FireFox only for testing. There are too many sites that don't work well with FF to make it a regular browser despite its great speed. IE7 is still my browser of choice.
do you know if IE8 will contain ground breaking features such as a restore feature for WHEN it crashes?
I use it and it works fine for me. It came pre installed on my PC but I have 3 Gigs of ram so that might help.
The details have not been released for it yet. But I do know that will be in consideration. One thing you might notice is that is one of the reasons FF uses s much RAM. That restore detail.
ahhhh but Opera does it as well and it is not a memory hog like FF. FF lives and dies by the add ons IMO. Sure they are handy but they drag you down.
FireFox is the best one for SEO, you could install alot of useful plug-ins like SEOquake, firebug, streamBOX etc. I'm using Opera and IE for testing ...
I have not used IE for long but still IE has many users because people are lazy enough to download the firefox. my site stats always show IE has more users.
