I thought it might be interesting to learn that [url=http://www.killersites.com/blog/2009/apple-sees-11-million-downloads-of-safari-4-in-three-days/]Safari seems to be making inroads[/url] with regards to the browser wars - 11 million downloads in three days is not bad!

For me though, what is really interesting is that more than half of the downloads were from Windows users. So what do you guys think of Safari's importance going forward? I am thinking that it is now part of the big three:

[*]IE[/*]
[*]Firefox[/*]
[*]Safari[/*]

I literally stumbled across a $20 bundle of goodies one might add to a web site or two. It's only a 3-day (birthday) offer, and was only started today, so don't forget this! In my opinion, though, that bundle is no way worth $300, but I reckon it's worth something, maybe?

There are two things you'll need to do in-order to get your hands on their stuff; one, you'll need to register, and two, you'll need to deposit monies, or in this case, pay 'em 20 digital green backs. 

Just one more thing... Be prepared for an humongous download of 1GB. :o

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[My newspaper says that IE is to be removed from Microsoft operating system 7 in Europe (so perhaps it won't happen outside Europe).

MS has been forced onto the defensive by European Regulators after a complaint by the Norwegian owners of Opera about the uncompetitive market for browsers.

I remember that the same thing happened when Netscape complained in the early 1990s and Microsoft lost a court case but IE still remained in the OS; whether MS paid a fine I can't remember. Netscape found it very hard to survive.

It seems that MS will offer computer manufacturers the choice of having IE pre-installed or not and most are still expected to have IE bundled in the OS.

I think that people without IE on their computers will not be able to get automatic software updates from Microsoft although they will be able to download them individually with other browsers, which will be too much trouble for most computer users who won't know which to download, so I expect most people will still want IE pre-installed.]]></summary>

			<link rel="alternate" href="http://www.killersites.com/forums/topic/321/windows-7-beta-under-way/new/posts/"/>
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[[b]Microsoft's Ballmer touts 'best version of Windows ever'[/b]
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer kicked off the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show on Wednesday with an impassioned endorsement of PCs and a sneak peek at the company's future Windows 7 operating system.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says Windows 7 will make PCs easier to use.

As expected, Ballmer announced that Microsoft is releasing a beta version of Windows 7, which will be available for download beginning Friday. The news suggests the world's largest software maker may be giving up efforts to rehabilitate its often-maligned Vista operating system, which was released worldwide in January 2007.

"We are on track to deliver the best version of Windows ever," Ballmer told an audience of several thousand tech professionals and journalists inside a cavernous ballroom at the Venetian hotel. "We're working hard to get it right and get it ready."

Without mentioning the security and compatibility issues that have dogged Vista, Ballmer promised that Windows 7 will make PCs faster and easier to use. He didn't offer a timetable for its official release, although Windows Vista went on sale more than two years after it was issued in beta form.

Early reviews of Windows 7, which was leaked to the Internet in beta form in late December, have been positive. 

The forthcoming operating system will have touch-screen capability, side-by-side windows for comparison shopping and a "Peek" feature that makes open windows transparent, allowing users to see the icons on their desktop.

"Windows 7 makes it easier to move between the things on your desktop," said Microsoft group project manager Charlotte Jones, who gave a brief demonstration of the system on the hall's giant display screens. Jones said the new system also makes it easier to send files back and forth between home computers. 

Ballmer later yielded the stage to Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's entertainment and devices division, who praised the explosive growth of the company's Xbox Live online gaming community. Bach also announced forthcoming releases of new versions of Microsoft's popular "Halo" game series: "Halo Wars," due Feb. 28, and "Halo 3: OSDT," which will ship in the fall. 


Wednesday's address marked the energetic Ballmer's debut as CES keynote pitchman, a job that had been handled for the past decade by Microsoft chairman and industry pioneer Bill Gates. Ballmer's presentation came two days after a similar, high-profile keynote at the Macworld show in San Francisco by Apple, Microsoft's chief rival, and its vice president Philip Schiller, filling in for the ailing Steve Jobs.

Unlike Schiller, Ballmer tackled the struggling economy head-on in his remarks. He said that although the recession has created "a period of reduced expectations," the tech companies that push forward now with innovative research will fare better in the long-term than the companies that scale back.

Ballmer said the convergence of screens on computers, TVs and mobile phones is revolutionizing how people communicate with each other.

"Our digital lives will continue to get richer. There's really no turning back from the connected world," he said. "We're on the verge of the kind of technological transformation that only happens once every 10 or 15 years."

As if to prove his point, Ballmer also welcomed onstage program manager Janet Galore, who gave brief demos of some Microsoft product prototypes, including a tabletop-like touch screen and a flexible, wafer-thin digital screen you can roll up like a piece of paper.

In a gentle swipe at Apple, which has gained market share against Microsoft in recent years, Ballmer said the PC remains the best choice for consumers seeking "value and power" in a computer.

"That's why we say, 'I'm a PC and proud of it!" he bellowed -- a reference to a new Microsoft ad campaign that play off similar ads by Apple.

Ballmer also announced that Microsoft has formed a partnership with Verizon Wireless to add Live Search tools to all Verizon smart phones in the U.S.

He also announced a partnership with Dell, which will soon come loaded with Microsoft's Windows Live suite of software, and links between Windows Live and the social-networking site, Facebook.

Reaction to the 90-minute presentation, which also included a performance by Australian musical-comedy trio Tripod, was mixed. Attendees praised the lively pace of Ballmer's talk, but wished he had made more news.

"I really loved what I heard tonight. There's definitely a lot of things to look forward to," said Sebastian Mineau, a Montreal-based blogger with MSN Canada. "It [Windows 7] wasn't a big surprise. But it was still nice to get the confirmation straight from the lion's mouth."

"It was very disappointing," said Ben Sillis, a reporter with ElectricPig, a British tech site. "CES is supposed to be about new products, new stuff. And this had all already been leaked. There was nothing new."

Some 2,700 exhibitors and 130,000 attendees are in Las Vegas for CES, the nation's largest consumer electronics trade show. The event runs through Sunday]]></summary>

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[As far as I know there is no IE8 Final. There are Betas, Beta 2 for the public etc. but not THE final IE8.

Yet upon searching after an IE8 question in the CSS section... it is still unclear as to whether or not IE8 Final was released... I am seeing terms like Final Beta 2 and titles suggesting a final then speak of Betas.

So what is the deal? Is IE8 Final or not? If it is, why is M$ slipping it in under the radar? For all these Mohave and Vista commercials, their first standards browser and they do not advertise it? Even non-Firefox users knew when FX3 was released.

Also some fellow at [url=http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=130302]http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=130302[/url] swears by it and it's CSS 2.1 rendering.

So any input on if it is final or if it is stll a beta or candidate running around?]]></summary>

However at this writing I must admit that both statistics are exactly the same. I suspect this may change or there is no use in having two. Silverlight is also not shown as it is new and not around when this was done. I am told they use different groups to get the statistics each time to they are fairly accurate. Thought it may be of interest. I personally have a hard time believing that all cell phones and other alternative user agents support it. Apprently iPhone does not yet.]]></summary>
