:O Like what? Using a *nix distribution, revamp only the interface and not make it free?
Now that's revolutionary.

lmao - couldn't agree more :happy:

It's a good thing I recently switched to Chrome. It isn't perfect tho.

i agreee because windows 7 is only a .2 kernel difference from vista, thats not much of an upgrade !:frusty:

I think it's a good thing that Microsoft will finally drop support for XP with IE9, apparently they will be doing the same for the next version of Office I heard (either this one (2010) or the one after that - I read an article on it a few months back). Either way, I've tried out IE9 Platform Preview and it seriously is fast - it loads pages crazy fast! I think IE9, especially with great improvements to speed, a new intuitive and compact, easy UI will be a great contender.

Not a loss at all. IE is ancient history!

Why would I worry about IE9 when I don't even like IE7 or 8?. And I'll be using XP until they come out with XP2 cause both Vista and 7 are absolute failures in my opinion. Its like going backward in time. Less configurable, less user friendly, more change for the sake of change not improvement. I hate 7, amd yes I used it exptensively and I just could not stomach its idiocy. Microsoft is operated and its softeware programmed by geeky morons.

who care
not using ie9 anyway
