Bink.nu has just posted some screenshots of what appears to be Internet Explorer 7
running on a version of Longhorn at Gnomedex. From those screenshots, RSS has been supported by Internet Explorer 7 clearly. The user interface also has been changed quite alots. For example, a thing looks like a search bar is added on the top right corner. The forward and backward button is placed in front of address bar. Yea, and tab browsing as well.. source: http://bink.nu/Article4349.bink http://bink.nu/photos/news_article_images/...0/original.aspx http://bink.nu/photos/news_article_images/...9/original.aspx http://bink.nu/photos/news_article_images/...1/original.aspx

Lol.. oh dear.
The next Version of Longhorn and IE7 looks just like GNU GNOME for *nix. I forsee flames whhen longhorn is finally released. Get your asbestos pants ready ! I love that guys t-shirt.... well, no i dont. but its funny... what a nerd when people walk around with the foot print logo, thats cool, cos most people have no idea what that is... but longhorn loves RSS... what a nerd I was wondering, who is going to buy longohorn when it is rleased ? |

Omg, it's just a complete rip of Firefox! Tabbed browsing, search box, back and forward in front of address bar!
Come on Microsoft, surely you can do better than that! And Firefox has been RSS subscribable for ages. Microsoft seems to be simply catching up with Firefox and giving itself a new look (in Firefox there are selectable themes made by contributors, but this can't happen in the current version of IE (6)). This seems to be a shockingly poor effort on the part of Microsoft. |

Hehe it seems as though we are not the only ones noticing Firefox is better than Internet explorer =P
Still, it won't stop me from using Firefox, naturally. It's far purer than IE. But we have seen Microsoft rip-off stuff before haven't we? Still, I think windows XP was a great improvement above ME/98. Better faster etc. So I'm curious to what Longhorn will be... |

To me the most interesting thing about this photograph is the screen resolution of the four IE windows. Its not 1024x768 or similar, it's 768x768, I mean both sides are of equal length. So it looks like the Longhorn side bar really will change the look and feel of the desktop. This might have consequences for future web design: websites like cubes.

Haze, I'm pretty sure that's just actual screen grabs of what the explorer may look like and then edited to fit on a powerpoint slide. Something to that effect, I don't think that's an actual os running with 4 different browsers open on it 0.o Unless ei7 comes out with some crazy security upgrades to make hacks of old ie browsers obsolute and completely ineffective there is no real need to upgrade or even switch from firefox. For now anyways |

I can't stand IE. No matter how better IE gets, it's always going to be either inferior to or a rip-off of Firefox.

maybe it's not important, but i think that isn't longhorn, i think it's xp, you see it uses the royale skin. and its easy to edit the size of your ie. just minimize and grab it in the right-down corner

Well, all those pictures there only show how IE7 integrates RSS... Maybe there are other hidden features? Anyway, in those screenshots I a lot of difference from IE6

I don't really care about IE 7. Really, RSS support, or any of the other things they promise either don't interest me, or seem like they are just playing catchup to other browsers.
