IE isn't the worst of them.Originally Posted by Busyman™
My least favorite is office 2007 but that's probably fixed by now in the betas.

Move which shit around? You can't:
- put anything next to the 'Control Bar' (Bar Formerly Known As Tool)
- remove the ghey search box
- move the (ridiculously wide) address bar, or put anything next to it, for that matter
I don't surf in fullscreen and the top of my IE6 window is three bars deep. MS brag that the new layout maximises the page-view but the top of IE7's window ends up 4 bars deep.
If you enable tabbed mode, the 'Command Bar' gets shunted way off to the right, which cannot in the least be considered 'intuitive'.
I don't dislike everything about IE7, just 95% of it. They finally appear to have noticed that IE couldn't print web pages properly without a third party plugin, and the phishing tool looks very useful, it's just that this is a great opportunity for MS to design a great browser, and they're completely fucking it up.
Don't just take my word for it, take a look at the requests on MS' own newsgroup-type feedback thingumajig.
MS say "We Listened" when you install IE7 and I have to ask if they're hard of hearing.
I've installed the latest FF to see if it's improved much, but I'm not that impressed with it.
Back using IE6 ATM.

Don't bet on it. From the small reference to it in the MS IE feedback 'group', it sounds like it's gonna be similar.Originally Posted by rossco
I've heard that they decided people were confused by the menu because things were just thrown in there regardless of whether it was intuitive. I can vouch for that because the menus in Office 11 apps (and people have been complaining about them for over 10 years now) appear thrown together willy-nilly with little or no thought at all.
That doesn't mean that moving them to a 'bar' and giving them different names is a better idea than actually sorting the damned things out.
I am most definitely not looking forward to the next generation of MS product.

I haven't tried the IE7 beta, but only because I fear change. Or maybe it's my, 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' attitude.Originally Posted by Chewie UK
I think once we're forced into the Vista era, we'll be looking for XP visual styles.

Question...why don't you like to surf in full screen?Originally Posted by Chewie UK
I have to agree with you that you can't move as much shit around as I thought. I would like to make my address bar smaller. I don't need to see the fucking bone marrow of a url. The Command Bar can't be moved but I didn't care I guess since I now don't use the File/Edit/Fav bar anymore. The Command Bar takes up less space.
The command bar wouldn't be so bad if I could put the other toolbar icons next to it - Epson & Acrobat currently - but they're stuck there.
I don't surf fullscreen because I like to have two open windows to FST; to the left I have the New Posts page and I drag post links to the right hand window to read them, thus making FST surfing a breeze. Of course, I've tried the tabs, but I find I have to be careful where I drag it that way whereas I don't even need to look what I'm doing this way.

Makes Sense.. I still think you should give FF a second chance tough.Originally Posted by Chewie UK
