[Sage] Re: Testing - Kudos

[unkerjay]

Tried accomplishing comparable tasks in IE7 Beta 3
as well.

Still can't beat Firefox or Sage.

Besides which I haven't got time to wait for IE to
catch up to what Opera had going back to IE FIVE
and it still doesn't have the functionality and versatility
of Firefox.

I looked at their "add-ons".  Apparently there's some
confusion between "add-on" and "shareware" since
a good number of their "add-ons" are stand-alone
programs for which there is a purchase FEE.

Which simply means there's FAR more that can be
done with Firefox for FREE than can be done even
with the latest version of Internet Explorer and without
having to PAY for it.

And Vista and IE7 will require hardware upgrades to
take FULL advantage of their features. 

I run WinXP w/300GB on an AMD 1.8Ghz processor.

Don't expect as much from Windows Vista.

And it's two years in development now.

I don't think IE7 or Windows Vista will be MUST have
software. Of course that only lasts until MS declares
that it will no longer be supporting the previous OS
which happens to be the one you're using.  Which will
only be a matter of time.

Till then, long live Windows XP.
