Old Versus New (again)
This is another piece about the snobbery of technology.
The way in which every next application is seen to be the best thing, or at the very least better than before, and that it is superior by virtue of being younger, is quite weird.
It has been estd. with windows vista that this is not true. But for the most part we continue to believe the myth. In fact we even believe that vista will one day live up to the hype, even I do.
What I don’t understand is why.
I mean to a geek who spends his whole day online, perhaps the difference between internet explorer 6 and 7 is obvious, but to someone who just uses the net to check mail, he really doesn’t get it.
I mean how does it make a difference when I type, Dear Mother, if I’m doing on either one. Yet when I sign in, the mail server will dutifully, and almost scandalized, inform me that my machine is using a version of IE that is now obsolete. What is more irritating that that is my friends telling me that IE itself is obsolete, and anyone not using firefox or the new rosy cheeked baby, chrome, is old enough to be dead.
Even as I post this using IE 6, I bet, some one please explain the difference!
Internet Explorer 8! Here! Well almost!
With days in hand till its self imposed deadline, Microsoft releases the second beta version of Internet Explorer 8. The company refused to set a date for the release of the final version.
The new IE8 is faster than the previous Internet Explorer and is apparently more stable. The Internet Explorer 8 also is equipped with several accelerators that help users search a street address, a definition or a translation. The visual search will also help find items on eBay, Wikipedia, Google or YouTube.
The InPrivate option is a new option saves none of the pages you visit and no cookies! Which received heavy criticism from the media, and was described as a ’porn-mode’, Microsoft replied swiftly and said it is a useful tool for moments like searching for a present without ruining the surprise.
After Firefox 3.0’s record breaking success the Internet Explorer 8 has to be beyond expectations to keep Microsoft’s name in the Internet Browser market.
