I’m not sure what Microsoft is smoking, but if the current IE7 Beta is anywhere near what they plan on releasing, I’m gonna say that Firefox et al will have 75% or better market share within 18 months. It is that bad and Firefox is that good. The UI is an absolute disaster.
I am using the Opera 9 beta. I have been in an “in love out of love” relationship with Opera for years, and I have to say this is a really nice piece of code.
I dislike all-in-one programs, but they are really making the integration work well, and I much prefer the idea of widgets in a browser to widgets in a desktop. The interface is fabulous and Firebird just seems “sluggish” at times.
When they release a Gmail plugin, I will be sold.
