Is there no right-click and "remove this" type option then or in Norton or somewhere like that? I'm sure Mr Norton knows better than to put something there permantely, that is the work of spyware and what not to make it impossible to remove but Norton should know better.Hymagumba wrote:Well basically my main reasons are thus.Flava wrote:I'm not sure quite what Microsoft have done wrong though.
1 - until SP2 it was impossible to remove the barnicles such as Norton's toolbar from IE, I like tidyness, I'm fussy. Firefox doesn't have an uninstall button for extensions yet and I quite happily uninstall the entire thing and reset just to clean the single line of text from the list.
Two words - third party.2 - popups - yet again solved in SP2 although if I'm not mistaken windows can still reorder themselves
I have yet to see any issues relating to stability in Internet Explorer under Windows XP with all patches and what not installed. It is known that Windows ME is essentially complete crap compared to Windows 2000 though.3 - stability, IE used to go down on my ME machine all the time, it's probably stabler on XP but by that time I hadn't used it in ages.
New glasses?4 - rendering, for some reason many sites look "flat" to me in IE now. Mozillazine.org is a particular example of this.
One problem which users may encounter with the tabbed issue:5 - tabs and little things like "Find as you type" in Firefox, can't live without them anymore.
Under IE close top right, gets get rid of current window only. Do so under Opera or whatever and get rid of them all. I reckon that's enough to put most people off it and who shall not adapt.
So don't "get something vertically" then, whatever it is you are doing... (vertical text alignment?)CSS is far from perfect, I threw a hissy fit the other week when trying to get something to vertically and ended up trying the most ridiculous hack, which them totally buggered up in IE5.
"PNG properly"? I can see PNG files, or am I missing something?Plus on the subject of the "dreadful standards". If IE supported PNG properly there would be a lot less need for so many annoying filters. I was going to give the link to a lovely CSS based design I saw the other day but I've lost the liink to it, I'll find it later and put it up.
As to the CSS based design and losing the link to it - ooh you'll never sleep tonight will you?
