I installed it. It seems to work, though there's an AskJeeves search bar you can't get rid of without dropping the address bar as well. There doesn't appear to be a way to configure search provider, either. The tab implementation is faster and more integrated with IE than the MSN toolbar's.
I'd also prefer the option to install without the weird Privacy Sweeper crap; my IE security settings, firewall, and AdMuncher take care of that, thank you. All I really need is tabs on IE for those rare times I can't get whatever site I'm on to work in Opera.
You must have known you were going to see some responses to this. That is, assuming it's not trollery or flamebait.
I was browsing the web in IE
Okay, maybe you were on some IE-only site.
via my Windows 2003 Server
You're doing casual Web browsing on a server OS? Okay, maybe for a quick patch download.
that hosts my web site
You're doing casual Web browsing, on IE, on a server OS, on your live Web server?
I had turned on JavaScript, ActiveX, and a few other things to make the browsing experience less annoying (I hated having to put every site I visited into the list of Trusted Domains).
Casual Web browsing, IE, server OS, live Web server, deliberately defeating the enhanced security model?
Since there's no free AV software for Windows 2003,
you decided not to run one at all, on your live Web server on which you were doing casual Web browsing.
(snip trials and tribulations)
Going through that level of pain and suffering is the biggest motivator to moving away from Microsoft that I've experienced in a long time.
It should be the biggest motivator to use the tools you have in the way they're meant to be used. You have a server OS and a workstation OS sitting right next to each other; try using the workstation OS for casual Web browsing and the server OS for hosting your Web site, instead of the other way around.
My guess is that since the Windows 2003 Server browser is so locked down, they don't bother fixing holes.
Your guess is mistaken. The Web browser in Server 2003 is IE 6, just like the one in XP. The only difference is the default "Enhanced Security Model" in Server 2003.
I miss netcom. See anyone around on the 'net with an @ix.netcom.com email address, pay attention to them. Those accounts are from the 90's and are legacy shell accounts.
My recollection (I had an @ix.netcom.com account) was that ix was non-shell, NetCruiser only. @netcom.com was shell. I knew a few people with those, and they were shell-only.
And to top it all off the new Trusted Netwrok Connect system (Microsoft calls it Network Access Protection) can and will deny you any internet access at all unless you have a strictly locked down trusted compliant system. Of course they an't roll out such a system today, almost no one has a Trusted machine yet. You can expect Trusted Network Connect starting to become mandatory somewhere between 2010 and 2015.
They don't care if you use a non-Trusted computer without DRM. They don't care if you sell non-Trusted compters that do not enforce DRM. Such computers will be increasingly locked out of the new software and new files and websites and network protocals, and ultimately locked out of the internet itself.
Don't you think this will result in the evolution of an alternate, non-Trusted Internet? Or rather, the original non-Trusted Internet will remain and the new, Trusted Internet will be reserved for those with Trusted network connections.
you could use ua.ini to completely remove "opera" form the us string. just type "cvs.com=5" and thats it.
But doing so removes any incentive for the CVS.com Webmaster to remove their unnecessary blocking. Instead, Opera users should hit CVS.com a couple of times a day... or hour... or minute... until their Web logs are fairly bursting.
I blatantly whored for appreciation by passing the link around my office. Within minutes, I was getting "Oh, thank you so much for everything!" from all corners. One of the developers even brought me a cookie.
I am amused that XP still requires you to reboot in order to join an Active Directory domain. The NT domain system has been around for how many years now and you still need to restart just to join a domain?
The full implication of this arises when you need to rename a machine on a domain. You can't just rename it, because the domain account is tied to the machine name. So you have to unjoin from the domain (reboot), rename (reboot), and rejoin the domain (reboot). Three friggin' reboots to change a machine name.
Unless somebody out there in/.land knows of a way to rename a domain-member machine without rebooting three times.
In fact, you can search for a movie by name and the top result (above the actual search results) will be locations and times for your ZIP code (assuming you've used Google Local and saved your ZIP code). Just noticed this the other day, and I've certainly searched movie titles before that.
What I find interesting is that GWB is doing everything possible to assure that the rest of the world will isolate us. As it is, we were going to turn this over. But then people like Rove (the white house traitor), decided not to. The stupid thing is that this will become a war over who controls the name servers. I am guessing that American ISPs will be told to block access to the other name servers.
In the end, all of this planet EXCEPT for USA will switch. Then we will switch once we get a sane president. But when all is said and done, all other nations will look at us as foolish and not worth following.
Has anybody been paying attention to the little war that is started in Galleo vs. GPS? Already a number of other nations (EU, Australia, Russia, China, etc) are pledging to move to using it (mostly due to not under US control).
Strongly-held opinion, stated intelligibly, does not equal trollery.
You can do that with any book, actually, though only smallish bookstores make use of it.
This is called "stripping" a book and I assure you it's not just small bookstores who do it. It is standard practice for mass-market paperbacks and magazines; the remainder of the book or magazine is then supposed to be destroyed. Booksellers at my store (and at every bookstore where I've worked--many) may take home stripped books and magazines. The rest are recycled.
About then the DJ came on and said "We're playing 'Macarena' until you vomit." Then played the song again.
After that iteration of the song the DJ came back and played some phone calls of people begging him to change the song, but he just said that it was "Macarena" until you vomit.
I don't know when the thing started, but by the time I got to work it was the 17th or so "Macarena" in a row.
This is called stunting. Radio stations do it to mark a transition between formats, apparently in an attempt to drive off listeners to their previous format.

What a piece of shit NetCruiser was, by the way.

Thank you, Sysadmin Appreciation Day!
I interviewed with them about a year ago. They didn't hire me.
This explains why they failed.

I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.
Using 8.01 (latest public release) I couldn't get dragging or zooming to work. Where'd you find 8.02?
Something missing (and it's missing from Google Maps/Google Earth as well) is the ability to see the date of the aerial photos!
Unless I've really missed it somewhere. I know TerraServer has or had this feature.
Arrg, I've used up my mod points.
+1 Funny!

As long as they make that sound when they change forms, I'll be happy.
It's not exactly hidden. Hint: Look in Chatsworth. If I'd only known when I was growing up there...
So sad that she's succumbed to twisted Hollywood ideals now.

CACLS works just fine in XP Home.
