and thier still not going to embrace CSS2.0, the W3C standard?

Then wy the fuck make a new browser, you can just "update" IE6 with all this extra bullshit, name is IE 6.5 or what the fuck ever.


I'm sticking with Firefox, thanks.

Those are all claims by the 'sources', not official.

I'm not sure how much stock I place in them.

I'm running the IE7 Alpha (I know, no Beta yet). No sign of tab browsing. There is popup blocking and 24-bit PNG support (yes, Durandel's sig works), and I'm not sure if it has CSS2.

The GUI is TERRIBLE (thank goodness this is an Alpha), with freakily placed oversized buttons that are out of proportion (the forward button is invisibly small, back is HUGE, there is a ton of wasted space next to them and the row below has stop refresh and home as tiny little icons, with File-Edit-View below that), terrible color contrasts, etc. Please change it before the final version...

I just went and installed FireFox on Longhorn. Works great.

But there is absolutely no signs of tab browsing. Or RSS.
