carlito_au · 6th August 2001, 09:44

wait for ie 6..... no penis included (as far as i know.. M$ usually slips one in though)

SNYder · 6th August 2001, 10:40

why wait, when a nice new sturdy update of 5.5 is out?

6'll be beta for a while longer. Might as well update 5.5 if your not already using the beta of 6.

Wish · 6th August 2001, 12:17

IE6 final/gold will be released on August 15th according to most Windows sites(Activewin, WinOSCentral, Neowin) but it will not install on Win95. It will only install on Win98/98SE/ME and NT4/Win2k(XP when it is released on October 25th already comes with IE6). So Win95 users should update to IE5.5SP2 since they won't be able to install IE6 on their OS.

IE 5 and 5.5 both suck! Currently, I'm running IE 6 Build 2462 and it really kicks ass! And I'm in the process of updating it to build 2530! However, IE 6 still can't match Netscape and Mozilla's performance, stability, reliability, and functionality!

Nofx Guy · 6th August 2001, 21:25

i use opera, it's so stable and fast, and it has a nice interface, minus the banners....

AmpliDex · 6th August 2001, 21:38

Opera isn't bad!

Scarface2k1 · 7th August 2001, 01:22

yeah, but you still have to pay for it huh?

Netscape is the biggest load of...

man are you gonna get flamed by amplidex

Curi0us_George · 7th August 2001, 02:15

Netscape 4 was crap; I agree. Netscape 6 isn't though. Of course, Netscape 6 is always a good bit behind Mozilla, so I use the nightly builds of Mozilla. So far, for me, the nightly builds are the most stable browsers I've used.

Aeroe · 7th August 2001, 02:47

/me can't wait till mozilla comes out of beta

Right now it's the closest competition for IE, but still uses more ram and is a little buggy.
I don't like IE 6.0 although it's stable, the media shit gets in my way. I want it to die, die die die... um.

[edit] The forums seem strangely fast tonight or is it just me? Something must be wrong then.

Curi0us_George · 7th August 2001, 02:56

Mozilla doesn't come out of beta. When the Mozilla team is satisfied that they've created a better version, it becomes the new Netscape 6. (ie: 6.1, 6.2, etc.) The most recent build (milestone) is extremely stable.

Aeroe · 7th August 2001, 03:15

i was thinking when they reach v1.0, my bad

i'm forgetting they are slaves to the AOL monstrosity.

Curi0us_George · 7th August 2001, 03:36

I could be wrong, but from what I understand, they'll never call themselves anything above beta. Mozilla 9.2 is already more stable than any Netscape 4.x build, and they expect 9.3 to be even more stable.

AmpliDex · 15th August 2001, 02:47

I thought Mozilla 1.0 could be Mozilla 6 or Mozilla 5.01!

AmpliDex · 15th August 2001, 16:08

Weird! Why would Mozilla revert from 5.0 back to 0.9.3?

Flynnz · 16th August 2001, 03:43

I hadn't upgraded to SP2 yet (and won't now)... If you were about to, and use Quicktime, you might wanna check this CNET news article. (It's simple and I suppose I could explain it, but that wouldn't be fun, now would it?)

Rocker · 16th August 2001, 04:49

who gives a crap about quicktime just use the player

ie6 is stable as all hell for a microspoof beta

}}Killer Wombat{{ · 16th August 2001, 09:57

netscape sucked the biggest pile of shit seen by man since the dinosuars went on vacation. and netscapes dead by the way, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

can you tell i don't like netscape?

InvisableMan · 16th August 2001, 10:13

noooooo.

AmpliDex · 16th August 2001, 14:54

Windows Media Player 7.x is the worst piece of shit, other than AOL, that I've used!

griffinn · 17th August 2001, 00:22

The worst piece of shit installed on my PC is RealPlayer.

As for Windows Media... the player might be lousy, but you have to concede that from a technological point of view, Windows Media format is more robust than RealMedia, for both video and audio. It delivers better quality over low bandwidth. It also recovers gracefully when bandwidth is unstable.

AmpliDex · 17th August 2001, 03:07

Screw you, griffin!

RealPlayer doesn't suck! I find it way f*ing better than WMP! Everyone, after "griffin"!

griffinn · 23rd August 2001, 12:50

Apple has fixed the QuickTime problem in IE 5.5 SP2 by releasing a QuickTime ActiveX control:

SNYder · 23rd August 2001, 22:44

griffin. thanks a lot for postin that. it finally fixed the problem i was having with quicktime in IE

AmpliDex · 24th August 2001, 00:13

Not good!

IE 6 files no longer work so I'll have to wait for the final release! ANd I've yet to upgrade my QuickTime!
