Well, that sucks. As a primary WIndows 7 user, I was hoping I'd be able to update to the new IE8 when it was released. Now I guess I'll need to wait until the Windows 7 RC is released.

Microsoft's Mobile Music Service is chock full of DRM

www.pcpro.co.uk/.../qa-microsoft-defends-return-to-drm.html

Some truly insightful comments from MS: " They certainly tell us that they like listening to music while they are out and about, on their mobile phones."

No *** Sherlock!

With DRM and more expensive! Excellent.

Microsoft has no clue.

No blog post about this today?

As for IE8, don't rush to put it in Windows 7. I'm sure the EU won't want it there.

How were classes today, robertsjoe? I know, you aren't from the US - you've told me that before, so I guess that I should say, have a good day at school today. Eat your veggies at lunch.

Yes, I know I'm trolling.  The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, but robertsjoe, what do you think about this:  www.neowin.net/.../iwork-09-trojan-infects-20000-pirates

I know you'll have your excuses and such, that's fine.  It will be nice to see you hem and haw.

@dipshtadmin: A trojan is something OS X nor Windows can stop. These idiots downloaded pirated software and gave it permission to run. Hard to stop.

Now, go back to your anti-virus and anti-spyware and make sure it's all running and uptodate. Me, I'm just gonna get stuff done. Don't have to worry about that EVER!

Windows worm ravages large number of computers.

Windows, not safe at all.

@rj (that can be your cute little boy name) - You posted about that last week. Please get some new material, could ya? You're getting as boring as you are predictable.

@tayme: Don't be racist. I am not your "boy"

No comments from Paul about last results for Google/MS and Apple ?

Well who cares about Apple, nobody buys their products with their 3% marketshare all the more on the Supersite for Windows blog.

dave, check out Paul's other property, as there is coverage on WindowsITPro.

rj, boy relates to your age, not some racist comment.

And guess what.  Most infections on Windows happen the same way, requiring user intervention.

About this latest EU case.

It seems to me that what they're after, is for microsoft to stop tying IE to windows, or in other words, to release IE for other OSes?

I thought the intention was that all these internal intranet sites made specificaly for IE, tie a company into using Windows. If IE was on other platforms, then businesses could run Linux, or OSX, and not have to change over their infrastructure.

That's how I understood it anyway.

@robertsjoe - No racism involved in my use of the word "boy"...and I would never claim you as mine, even if we were related. For more inforation on the word "boy" see - dictionary.reference.com/.../boy - Numbers 1 and 2 are how I intended it to be read...especially number 2.

"iwork-09-trojan-infects-20000"

WOW!  That's like half the user-base!

LOL!

IE8 seems pretty solid in WIn 7 I'm still using it in Vista and it's okay, it was unusable in XP. Firefox 3.1 works considerably better for me than 3.0 for some reason Opera is  joke its almost as bad as Safari.

Anyone else find IE8 on Win7 to be extremely unstable? I get at least one crash daily. Other than that, it's OK (although I think the search bar that replaced the modal search is a huge improvement)

I keep getting these strange "Ie8 has crashed" things in win7, even though it hasn't. It automagically sends a report back to microsoft, but remains open, and fully functional. odd.

IE is my primary browser and with IE8, I think Microsoft has done a nice job. I really like using the browser and its features like group tabs, accelerators, the great search bar and new address bar (though the latter was copied from FF) but I wish IE8 would have better ways to changing the layout of the browser, which as removing the Favorites star from the Favorites Bar and move it to where FF placed it.

I'm looking forward to IE8 RC 1

Please God, no.

IE8 Beta in Win7 is such a piece of junk. Its like MS is trying to make another FireFox and failing miserably. There are too many colors, too many boxes, too many tool bars and the damn thing doesn't render pages correctly, even in compatability mode.

IE7 works fine, it may have security bugs but it flipping works. Please no IE8.

Ok.. I just installed Windows 7 build 7057 onto my 17″ macbook pro (early 2009 model). I got everything running except the wifi. It seems to show a live connection available but refuses to get online. I installed all the drives from my leopard 10. 5 cd
