Given that this is now confirmed, might be a good time to redo this poll.

A browser that works

 

Hmm, Good Questions PollMaster

I would like to see Tabbed Browsing, Mouse Gestures, AD Blocking, a Download manager similar to FF/Opera that would have ability to change the actions for file types, I don't know if ActiveX removal is neccessary, but they should definitely have added controls for it (ie. a ~While List / Black List~), and limit its functionality, a Search Bar would also be nice as long as it has the ability to be totally user defined and any other security improvements would be welcome.

Seriously, I think dog has covered all of what I would like to see in a browser.

I would like to see 'windows updates' in IE.......Everything else, I'm happy to 'see' in FF!

 

Nice on BigBuck. I have got to admit, if IE was to basically die, the world would be a better place... honest.

I'm with Buck - the only thing I want from IE is Windows updates since ya gotta have it for that - and even then I've had one or two windows "updates" that made me hafta restore the OS to regain normal operations... So I even say this reluctantly.

 

The biggest and most important thing I want to see in Internet Explorer 7 is security. That is security against spyware attacks and other types of malware. There's still a lot of room for improvement of IE.

IE7.0 had better be much better than IE6.0
If IE7.0 is the same like its predecessors, and has many security holes too, it would be best to use other alternative browsers in that case.

 

What concerns me is how IE is so deeply embedded in the Windows system. FF is so easily DL'd and uninstalled if need be. Not to mention that FF can actually be operated from a USB sick without actually being installed on the machine! I'm just liking FF more and more all the time!

 

I selected almost all, including the last one

The inabiltiy for some users not to able to get on the Internet. Whether it's IE 6, 7, 8 or 20....many users will still not realize it takes two to tango.

 

I'd ask for an entry in Add/Remove Programs so people can have the choice to clear it off their system without having to use third party software.

 

Excellent suggestion! *thumbs up*

 

Another thing: I want Microsoft to completely REMOVE ActiveX from IE, in view of most of the spyware getting in via ActiveX in IE. Also, with reference to bigbuck's comments, I also hope Microsoft will not embed IE7 so deeply into Windows.

 

I have a feeling its gonna leave some crap after its uninstalled...

 

I like the add remove idea for IE ... you can throw that piece of crap they call a media player in their with it ... I would love to uninstall that spyware magnet.

I don't see why you can't use whatever browser you wan't to do updates - i hate switching from my semi secure browser (Opera) to the biggest security hole in the known world ... especially to do critical updates.

 

Didn't realise that was the case. Usefull to know.

Is there any question here ? JimBob . No reason to get " serious " after your original reply . My God , You are correct ! One that works ! Woohoo

 

i think they move to create the best browser ever,why> because they take seriously FF increasing popularity,all right all of us leave benefited with the competence,sice the days of Netscape(monopolys days,who remember) now the programmers compite for us, go them have to create a beter and secure browsers and softwares in general,for that reason i think the monster goes to create a better browser and they control the 98.99 of internet surfing again(withou monopoly practices)

 

If IE doesnt take a lesson from FF/Opera...All that I would like to see is an UINSTALLER.

lol,i expect a good browser again.

 

Well i won't use it no matter what. Since it is tighly intergrated into Windows I would rather it improve on Resources - Security and Polish it further. Support more Standards

 

i think they can create a descent browser for the mass but they go to sold an extra package via windos update for give you the best browser,the mentality of Bill is insane $$$$$$$$$$444

 

Only for Windows updates and my wife's bank account I need it.
For the rest Opera & FF. Better browsers too and more secure.

 

Better security and tabbed browsing.
