Anything from Microsoft with a 1 or 2 as a version number will be infested with bugs
And is gay the right word? But it really surprises me. The preview was actually much better.
1- Notice the first tab! i still don't know what is it about ! i can't even close it !
That's reserved for future use...
2- What would happen if I opened 10 tabs simultaneously ? They don't even fit in that tab bar...
You should be thankful you can open 3 tabs at once.
3- IE9 Beta 1 crashed twice in the past 10 mins ! That's an improvement. (It used to crash twice a minute :) )
That's because they added so much stuff in it, including SVG support and I guess all the HTML5 hype stuff. Hey this is Microsoft, after all! They will hang on to a seriously outdated piece of code for ages before some gurus from the open source / unix world will redesign the whole thing from scratch... then the software will last another 2 decades again... and they cycle continues... That's what happened with windows and I guess (hope) it'll happen with IE.
4- The "Back" button is a total fail, they didn't place it correctly !
Yeah I saw that. Very amateurish from Microsoft. How many thousands employees to they employ again?
5- Pages fade out after a while if the browser is inactive. (They're saving power, and going Green!)
That's the weirdest "feature" ever
6- Another major improvement to IE9 - The icon has now lighter colors.
I bet it took them months of deliberations to reach that...
7- Bill Gate's idea of being different : Firefox's tabs are under the URL bar, Chrome's are above. We should be in the middle then ! See, we're indeed different !
Lol that is totally ridiculous considering all the space that is wasted on that huge, blank bar on top of the window.
