Regarding the thread title, I'd go for "bad" and "ugly".

You'll have less problems with adware and malware if you get your porn off limewire instead of websites. Grin

I thought it was bad and ugly, and as for Woodlouse's suggestion, you probably shouldn't be dusscusing that here. Wink

Install the FREE McAfee Site Adviser! It is so cool! In general, IE is as leaky as a sinking ship.I won't be using it, but i thought it would be nice to have a opinion on it.

Better than IE6, but Firefox is still the King.

I read about that in, like, pc magazine or something. M$ shouldn't be releasing things untill they work out the holes.

i decided to try it out just see what its like. it was they uglist program i've ever used. It looks like a firefox imitator, too, what with the tabs, and similar GUI. They're just afraid that they are losing out to a freeware program!

Make that one full year as a minimum, two at best. DX10 is NOT worth the problems and the absurd hardware requests only to make the bare OS run. Sad
