Microsoft Offers Phone Support For IE 7
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC is running a short piece detailing Microsoft's newest step in testing Internet Explorer 7, which just went into Beta 2 yesterday. They're now offering free phone support to U.S., German, and Japanese users who try out the trial software." From the article: "'We believe that IE 7, even at this beta stage, is a significant improvement and we want as many people as possible to try it and use it,' said the browser development team in a post on its blog. 'IE 7 is feature complete and has been through significant compatibility and reliability testing. People (especially technology enthusiasts) will have a good experience with it,' continued the post. Microsoft said the new version addresses some problems affecting banking and news sites. It is also designed to be more secure than the current version, with built-in protection against malicious software and online phishing scams."
Wow, I'd forgotten how lame installing and un-installing software in Windows is. If I want the latest developer version of Safari (or any program, for that matter), I just drag it to my Applications folder.
He who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
Who wants an Internet phone toy that only manages to connect you
to TWO other countries (with no choice of which ones), anyway?!?
Skype is -my- friend, here!
Not perfect, but it does all that I want done in the VoIP dep't.
What about you? Do you think MS will ever catch-up in VoIP?
