I like trying on new things

Sep 16, 2010 21:17

I haven't used internet explorer for years. I started with Netscape actually. I then used the IE for a little while but I returned to Netscape soon as I wanted to have a browser for my own. My parents preferred IE then as it had Polish version. But then IE got progerssively worse and worse so my parents switched to Firefox and we all mostly forgot IE existed.

Every time in all this years some I was forced to use Internet Explorer it drove me mad. There wasn't a program that could make me want to throw the computer out of the window as fast as IE could. I think the 6 or 7 version was the worst. I usually give up in couple of minutes and go back to the nice and easy world of Mozilla products. I tried Opera and Chrome but some of my favourite pages didn't work as they should. I tried IE 8 and it was better but still annoying.

Why I wrote all this? The beta version of IE 9 premiered yesterday. It's should be faster and better with graphics, video and java.  In other words pretty. And I'm, as you all should already know, unable to resist new and shiny tech. So I just had to try it.

It broke on the first try. What was even more annoying it kept on restarting itself and crashing again. I had to kill it. It only took it a minute to get me annoyed. But it's beta version so it can be excused. I got it working finally.

It looks pretty Chrome like. And html5 is shiny. But I think I'll wait till the alpha version. And see what other browsers will do. I don't trust IE to be user friendly. And there are too many features in FF I love to much to give up. I can't live without tabs inheriting history.

programs, computers, tech
