Microsoft Releases Explorer 6.0 | |
|
||
| Time: 14:57 EST/19:57 GMT | News Source: Associated Press | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
The latest version of Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer browser, made available for free download Monday, is drawing protests because it doesn't support two rival products commonly used on Web sites. Internet Explorer 6.0 will not automatically support the embattled Java programming language or Netscape-style ``plug-ins,'' though users and developers will have tools to make the browser compatible with those products. Microsoft decided to dropped support for the plug-ins - additional software that lets users play music, watch videos or perform other tasks - in favor of Microsoft technology called ActiveX. Microsoft spokesman Jim Cullinan said the move was for increased security. | ||

Wait a second...
IE6 doesn't support Sun Java? So you're saying that if I want to connect to an Oracle applicatoin with a Java interface, I can't??? Ugh, this sucks. Means I can't upgrade to IE6. Damnit. |

| IE 6 - The last shovel of dirt on the face of the rotting carcas that is Netscape... |

| Does anyone know the command line to download the entire IE6 package into a folder? Thanks |

Make no mistake though, NS 6/Mozilla and IE 6.0 are not equals. And, if you developers out there were smart, you'd start using features like Behaviors, which allow you to use modern features, but maintain down-level compatibility.
And, there's other things Netscrap either doesn't support, or renders incorrectly... go IE! This post was edited by IronCladLou on Wednesday, August 29, 2001 at 16:16. |
