Covert Browser Wars

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

On booting this morning, had the windows upate icon appear. A quick click to see what this mornings upgrade is…

IE Upgrade

Sly buggers! Now that’s a clever way to push Firefox aside! The war is getting underhand!

really has to keep up in this respect, has handed itself this great delivery channel for just about all of it’s products!

I’m quite surprised that they have changed this into a channel for delivering paid content to the desktop. ‘Vista upgrade’ click to enter your card details and upgrade!

(Just incase you’re wondering… I unticked the box :) )

Internet Explorer 7 out in the wild

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Yesterday released Internet Explorer 7.

I suppose this means I’ll have to download, install and then spend a good few days making alterations to the stylesheets on all of my sites at work!

argh!

Looking at the gumph on the site, it just seems all so old hat now, all of these features have been in for years. The only thing it’s got going for it in my opinion is the hope that css works correctly and yet that isn’t going to make a great difference to most of us until everyone who still uses decide to upgrade. How long will that be? Some people still use 5!
