Yes it is....

Anybody try this one?

Supposed to be for PC too.

Here is a link that might be useful: Safari

Opera is also a very good browser.

Urlee, if you are going to continue to use Internet Explorer, upgrade to IE8 for security.

I use Opera most of the time, but I also use Chrome. I tried Safari for Windows but did not like it so well.

Thanks all,
I know it is for the good to upgrade but when others disliked 7 so much, I stayed with 6 mostly because I like the "format".
I DL'd Avant and sure do not like the way it has all your favorites & History and such plastered across the whole screen when you log on.
I like Google as my home page when I open.

Urlee,
I just downloaded and installed IE8 this past weekend.
No changes that I could see, and it runs faster on two machines I've put it on thus far.

Hope this helps..

Thanx txKen,

Is it just like IE7 in that it has tabs etc. or whatever the change from IE6 was?
I imagine going to 8 from 7 is not as extreme as from 6 as it was supposed to be so different.

well changing your home page on any browser is a very simple thing to do so even if it does change your home page when it installs you can change it right back. Plus on some browsers, firefox for example the first time it opens after install it goes directly to the firefox page to let you know that the install was done correctly however it has NOT changed the homepage to that page. Many people think oh no it changed my home page, nope it only does that on the very first time it opens after that you go back to what ever home page you originally told it you wanted or what ever one you had on the other browser you imported the settings from.

Ie8 is like Ie7 yes but the security reasons are the main reason to update it and as stated in your link it is a headache for web designers to have to keep up with out dated browsers so many just don't and the pages will not render properly on those.

you might want to go to IE7 first for a little while then do the move on up to IE8. You should not have any problems with Ie7 it has been around for so long but Ie8 is still fairly new. That is what I would do, it is always better to jump from one level to the next and not skip levels.

It must have done something B4 I didn't know about cause this time it did open up to my homepage????????
We will see the next time if it opens to Google again without the list of History plastered across the page as it did before.

Urlee...
Sorry it took me a while to get back.
I see no visual difference with IE8.
It all seems the same to me.

IE8 from IE7 but I bet from IE6 is it?

according to recent articles IE6 will be around for a while
Microsoft: Killing IE6 'not an option'

"And Microsoft has no intention of putting IE6 to sleep before its already-scheduled 2014 termination. "Dropping support for IE6 is not an option because we committed to supporting the IE included with Windows for the lifespan of the product," Hachamovitch said, referring to Windows XP, the operating system that included IE6 when the former shipped in October 2001."
"Microsoft has set the kill date for IE6 as April 8, 2014, when it wraps up all support for Windows XP."

RC, Thanks for the article info.
