tjesterb, that's the point. I hope none of the browser disappears from the scene. Firefox is a really good browser as I stated recently I also use it exclusively for browsing things that I do not get feeds for (for which I use Blog Navigator). If nothing else I hope it alsways stays around to keep Microsft alert. But despite of what people say, it's a good browser (as in... rendering engine) with a poor/outdated wrapping (the IE window that users see).

That's ok. Actually I can use OpenOffice to create the Doc's I need let's do that. So what sites can I browse in Word Viewer?

Reply to Details of IE7 Begin to Emerge in Internet WinCustomize Forums

paxx, that only proves my point, you wanted to use one browser instead of two. As to the Word being a standard, it's not going to happen as Word is not free or provided with the operating system, but i have no problem with RTF/Wordpad being so as long as it comes with all the functionality DHTML can provide. Actually that's exactly the case with Macromedia Flash, we have whole sites built with it, and somehow it's OK with everybody. tjesterb, oh there should be standards, it's

Let me elaborate. We're talking competing products. Any given user will not be browsing the Internet all the time with 2 browsers at once, therefore only one is going to be used most of the time by the user and the one is "the winner". Winner = being used by people who do not use them for religious reasons. Because clearly both of them are not making money strictly from selling the browser that's the only field they really compete. Whenever we summon statistics there is always a winner a

paxx, the conclusion was based on the assumption that, most tech savy people updated within the last 3 years or got a newer OS "the other way". The first gtroup will probably get it with the next service pack, the other group is... well... pretty resourceful. I agree though that the stats may differ based on which sites they were measured at and Wincusromize is likely to get more XP optimistic stats. For the moment I'm enjoying Firefox. I spend 95% of my browsing time either in Firefo

Bebi, calling bulletproofness a joke is not really a smart thing to say. I believe our web people have quite an oposite experiences with MSHTML rendering and Gecko. Oh, and IE is a standard . it's W3C that's not IE compliant

Paxx, most of the techies are on XP, as you said that mostly non techies are using older systems. Firefox is mostly being used by those comfortable with computers. Which pretty much covers the XP population. The 64% I think would be very conservative. I agree the WC users are mostly of those tech savvy, whay do I think that? The numbers for WC are http://www.sitemeter.com/default.asp?action=stats&site=sm7wincustomize&report=19 and http://www.sitemeter.com/default.asp?actio

Did you know that... in Blog Navigator Tutorials JoeUser Forums

I really find the "Did you know that..." dialogs showing when an application is running quite hilarious. They provide no solution or enrichment whatsoever, because some random tip at the program startup is highly unlikely to help me with the task I am about to perform with the software. It also is completely stripped off wider context and random as it is, serves exclusively as an annoyance and the first thing user has to turn off in the application. That said, user still may

You can simply open such image in Paint and make the area fully uniform, then IconDeveloper will work fine with such image. As to the editor, this page http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/milestones.html says the current milestone 2.1 beta of Paint.net supports translucency. The editor is free. Gimp is another sample and supports all kind of formats with translucency but I do not really like how strange it looks and feels in Windows.

If you allow BlogNavigator to show the "category" clumn, you will see which search entry is from which search engine.

Feedster one of the engines used by Blog Navigator, along Daily Pop and Blogdigger for "Web Search" folders. So whenever you're creating a "web search" folder, you're in fact using this site too, and better, as you're getting the info from 2 other sites with it.

Last week it has been brought to my attention that Blog Navigator can no longer post web articles. Alas, this was only a symptom of a much worse disease, but first things first... This month in a noble effort of making the Windows platform more secure for us and our (perhaps future) kids ;) Microsoft rolled out a new set of updates , among which is this one innocen

That would have to be confirmed by some tests and I think GreenReaper would be best qualified to talk about it. I would noy like to guess here. it's not very effitient to tile a 1 pixel wide bitmap, but at one point you may start to move around too big memory chunks at once.
