Seriously, what is the improvement in experience? They've added a left nav. Sounds like snake oil to me.

Built in Download Manager is absolute for any good browser. Whenever I need to download files for more than 500MB, I install DAP, put download request into it. As soon as download completes, I uninstall DAP!

Why can't a basic Pause/Resume be implemented in IE, if not extensive DM?

"The system menu icon: dialogs don't usually show them, and this is a dialog. It's one of the visual cues that separate a dialog from a top level window. If they added max, min, and system menu, yet left the window modal, people would be saying "Hey, it looks like a regular window but why does it act modal?"

Perhaps it should be modeless and shown in the taskbar, then? Bookmarks Manager and Downloads Manager from Firefox are a good examples of how well this can work. A modeless Add-ons Manager in IE8 would be similarly effective, I think.

There are many badly designed applications on any OS you care to mention. Bad design needs to be reduced, not encouraged. There *are* guidelines for GUIs on Windows XP. There *is* a wide range standard controls. Users *do* find it harder when they are completely ignored.

For example, inconsistent iconography makes it harder to figure out at a glance what a toolbar button with no text label will do. Sure you can hover the mouse and get a tooltip. But this isn't helping users get things done. And if the tooltip text is inconsistent with the platform? Then it's no help anyway and users lose faith in waiting for tooltips next time there's something they don't recognise immediately.

OS consistency is an open-and-shut case, imho. Products excel when they heed it.

"As to your discussion about the context menu functions, sounds like you found some bugs for them to fix. Or maybe call them design changes. All of them seem reasonable in scope for a beta 1. They're refinement, not 'hey, start over with a different design, willya?' like the tab control stuff."

Yes, you could look at it that way. Then again, if these features are too difficult to get right perhaps they should be dropped? Clicking column headers covers the most useful sorting abilities already. It takes fewer clicks on larger hit areas, too.

I wonder if the IE team have discussions like this in the corridors and cafeteria? :)

How do I Uninstall IE8 and Reinstall IE7???

IE8 is messing up too many webpages. I need to uninstall it and reinstall IE7. IE7 kept locking up in Vista and Vista SP1. Someone said it was because of some addons. Well, there are too many addons to figure out the offender. At least IE7 worked and did not mess up webpages like IE8. How do I uninstall IE8? I tried the usual method Add/Remove Programs but IE8 is not listed. Thank in advance.
