@(IE9 and HTML thumbnails) From the 62 bugs I sent, only a few were closed 'by design'. Most of them were solved, delayed until a next version (said in the comment) or the current behavior had bee proven right (some JScript tricks I reported).

Maybe your bugs missed some information do perform a repro. Please note that every suggestion is automatically closed as 'by design'.

@FremyCompany, feedback on Connect doesn't make any difference. It is closed saying "This is by design". They do create the illusion very successfully that they are listening to our feedback.

Can someone from Microsoft please make a statement about shutting down the IE6/IE7/IE8/IE9 images at http://www.spoon.net/

======================================================================================================

This was **THE** most useful resource for testing multiple versions of IE and the shutdown really ticked developers off!

As a long time web developer of Enterprise Web Applications I've tried all the options out there to try and simplify testing IE and the lack of realistic options is a royal PITA.

1.) Multiple IEs - IE8 breaks the functionality of IE6's textboxes - thus its a NO-GO

2.) IETester - works great until you need to test popup interaction and then it fails - thus a NO-GO

3.) Virtual PC with timebombed images of IE6, IE7, IE8 - works ok, but the 12Gigs of HD space needed is frustrating when each full image of Windows dies 4 times a year, running a full Windows image is slow and you have to beg for updates because the releases are not co-ordinated and announced well at all - thus its a NO-GO

4.) IE Super Preview - Last I checked this did not allow full testing of IE user interaction, JavaScript DOM changes, popups etc. - thus its a NO-GO

5.) Multiple PC's to run multiple versions of windows and IE. With all the hardware, software, and physical space needed - its a NO-GO

6.) Spoon.net IEs - They work, they work just like local native apps once running, and there's no hacking of my real local IE install. - the **ONLY** problem with these IE's is that Microsoft shut them down

Please understand that we (developers) just want something that works. Testing in multiple versions of IE is a pain to begin with and with IE9 on the horizon it is only getting worse.

I'm not sure where the issue stands with Spoon, but I would really like a solution worked out fast.

Steve

Okay so I have been using Ave's HTML Explorer Thumbnails (www.aveapps.com/htmlpreviews.html) which is a thumbnail handler for HTML, MHT and URL files. It works on Windows 7 flawlessly until I install IE9. After installing IE9, as Windows Explorer is generating thumbnails for HTML/MHT files, I constantly hear the notification bar sound (which means IE9 is loading in the background?). Please fix this. I still don't get it. Why does IE9 not ship with built-in thumbnail and preview handlers for HTML, MHT and URL files??

Please add inline spell checking for IE9. Firefox and Chrome have had this for such a long time. IESpell is not the answer.

Even bug report readers seem to be <censored> at Adobe : "Thanks very much for your taking time to report the issue. Sorry but it is not flash content on the top left. It is not flash related. " Yeah, maybe it is a buggy HTML 5 ad. And this HTML 5 ad only appear when I install the beta version of Flash.. Every website I use do a special test to replace Flash ads by HTML 5 ones when we use the beta version......... #epic #fail
