Regarding the thread title, I'd go for "bad" and "ugly".

You'll have less problems with adware and malware if you get your porn off limewire instead of websites. ;D

I thought it was bad and ugly, and as for Woodlouse's suggestion, you probably shouldn't be dusscusing that here.  ;) Install the FREE McAfee Site Adviser! It is so cool!  In general, IE is as leaky as a sinking ship.I won't be using it, but i thought it would be nice to have a opinion on it.

Actually, I think I'll take my chances on the Titanic. At least that started watertight. ;)

Better than IE6, but Firefox is still the King.

I read about that in, like, pc magazine or something. M$ shouldn't be releasing things untill they work out the holes.

i decided to try it out just see what its like. it was they uglist program i've ever used. It looks like a firefox imitator, too, what with the tabs, and similar GUI. They're just afraid that they are losing out to a freeware program!

Make that one full year as a minimum, two at best. DX10 is NOT worth the problems and the absurd hardware requests only to make the bare OS run. :(

For real? Hmm... What else is new? ::)


stick with FF2


But of course. :D
