Oh yeah and can MS finally force people to upgrade from IE5 and IE6 to IE7 or better yet kill all previous IEs and force them to upgrade to IE8?
IE7 is just fairly okay (in terms of web standard), IE6 and below is just "humorous".
even so, i hope IE8 is decent so im not stuck with something too barbaric when i have to use computers that arent mine.

and as for those that use FF3, FF2 was WAY better in my opinion...
No more IE-only sites problem, just get the IEtab extension.
But for some quick look on something on the internet, I just hit the Chrome button, as it saves me a few seconds of loading time when opening.
And I don't see IE having a bigger marketshare as a problem, I see it as a plus for FF, as hackers usually target the majority of the users and users that have no clue of how to keep a computer safe, IE has them both.
If you want your browser to look and function the way Bill Gates wants it to, use IE. If you want your browser to look and function the way YOU want it to, use something else -- ANYTHING else!
when I Install IE 8 Beta 2, in my System, Many Applications Text Was Invisible.
