IE7 Announced for Longhorn and WinXP
sriram_2001 writes "There is now an official announcement from Bill Gates on Internet Explorer 7. It will be available in beta form this summer for Longhorn and XP SP2. The IEBlog has commentary about the decision making process that went into the new browser version." Coming on the heels of the June Beta announcement for Longhorn, if things go as planned it will likely be here in early summer. The new browser's early arrival was first discussed last year.
Opera had tabs before Firefox did. Also mouse gestures.
Don't forget alpha-channel transparency in PNG files.
(without the nasty DirectX hack)
End of lesson. You may press the button.
Tabs go back to the 1980s...spreadsheets had them first. Putting them in a web browser isn't an innovation, it's an evolution.
Bill Clinton: Pimp we can believe in. - The Shirt!!!
FTR, Galeon had tabs long before Opera.

The Microsoft Antispyware program will stay free for personal users, but for sysadmins who need a managed solution, Microsoft will charge for that package.
Also, a unified Microsoft OS & application update service focused on consumers and small businesses, called Microsoft Update, will be released this March. The enterprise Microsoft update product, Windows Update Services (WUS) - the follow up to SUS, will be released sometime in the first half of this year.
Not unless/until MS becomes an arm of the government. The First Amendment only applies to governmental action.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
freedom of speech applies only to the government. microsoft, or anyone, is allowed to block whatever they want. just like your employer can make you sign a NDA (which limits your right to speak about what you know).
No, they already do have tabbed browsing done.
At least in the stripped-down IE they ship with the SDK -- the tabs there are working nicely. Not as good as on FireFox with TBE, but better than on bare-bones FireFox.
Of course, everything else is still the old crap.
The creatures outside looked from Alt-Right to Antifa; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
I have VS6 and VS
All things considered, both are good. I use VS 6.0 more because old habits die hard (same reason I still use Borland C++Builder for certain kinds of projects - I'm used to the debug/stepping interface in certain circumstances).
If my answers frighten you, stop asking scary questions.
The changelog of galeon reads:NetCaptor was the first browser according to the Wikipedia article.
No other OS today will run a program designed for an Operating System 10 years old while still having the features one would expect from a modern operating system.
Mac OS X still runs almost all programs written for System 7 and up via Classic (not too dissimilar to Microsoft's approach), and even many programs from the original 128K (if you can find them - Illustrator 0.8 runs, for example, as do many old black and white games). Meanwhile, we've undergone a complete shift in processor architecture and OS architecture, but all of our ancient 68K software keeps on working.
THAT is an amazing feat, far moreso than the pure evolution of x86 and Win16/Win32.
I don't know what kind of crack I was on, but I suspect it was decaf.
