Hi,

I just downloaded and installed it. Any claims of speed performance are lost
on this browser. It has no Address bar or Favorites or links list. Any
rendering speed gains are lost with usability issues. By the time you have
opened the Open web dialog, typed in a fully qualified url (no autocomplete)
and then pressed Ok (no enter key activation on the web site drop-down),
other browsers would have completed the download and rendering.
Just goes to show how the fable of the Hare and the Tortise has real world
advice. The fastest may not necessarily win the race.

Regards.

Spyware and Malware defensive techniques.

Best practices:

Stop using Internet Exporer. Find another browser. If you want to
experiment
with a free browser that needs no install then try Off By One:
http://www.OffByOne.com This is THE fastest browser on earth. It doesn't
do
everything but many times you don't need everything.

Use a HOSTS file and keep it up to date. Learn how he

Stop using Outlook or Outlook Express. Find another email client. If you
must use these email clients then send and receive in plain text only and
turn off the preview pane. Never open email unless the subject line is
relevant and compelling to you NEVER! Unless you specifically request
someone to send you an attachment then do not open attachments NEVER!

Stop downloading, running or installing things you do not absolutely need.
If you do download scan it he http://www.virustotal.com/ or he
http://virusscan.jotti.org/ before you install or run.

Consider the possibility that every time you buy or use a Microsoft
product
you are making yourself a little less safe, your life more complicated and
the world a little worse off. Consider buying, using other alternatives.

This is better advice than you will ever receive from Microsoft or from
many
support people.
