can you tell me what the point is of a gigantic empty bar in the middle of the window? I mean, there is a little concept called screen real estate that's usually pretty valuable in interface design. I say thumbs down!

the blue you are talking about is like the bottom of this image
http://www.mevsthem.com/public/p…
so when you select a file you can edit its properties by clicking the property rather then right clicking file and window pops up this will pop up instead it will be a show and hide component. so....

IE 7.0 coming this summer focus on security and it will have tab browsing...but it won't be the IE in longhorn but still its good.
- cosmo0
agreed on the giant blue bar thing. redundant.
- cosmo0
IE 7.0, u know it's going to be buggy as hell and they will most likely make it like firefox.

what? what?
what happened to simple? keep the title bar small, give me more screen.
why bubble buttons and drop shadows and gradients?
thats why i cant stand osX and windows xp.... too much kindergarden color scheme. keep it simple.
spend more time on usability and less on pretty stuff.
- mevsthem0
yeah toastie i know what your talking about...ther properties arn't showing in that preview but thats what its for faster tag editing and better. rather then another window its kinda built into the window u can hide it.
- mevsthem0
why would u want a small titlebar especially using cleartype, the font size will move up to 10 now its 8 and the title bar is bigger i like that especially in the longhorn IE prevents people using titlebar as location title or long titles. anyway longhorn isn;t meant for people using 800x600 its moving on... your hardware wont support it. and the deafualt res will be bigger...

i really hope they add something for spyware.
- mevsthem0
yeah they will 7.0 release this summer main focus security..
