Wow! Internet Explorer 5.2.2

[cabbage]

Damn!
Your hatred towards M$ really brings out your stupidity sometimes. It's not Microsoft that is making you close all your open apps but the installer that Microsoft uses which happens to be created by MindVision Installer VISE. So you should be bitching at MindVision not M$. And VISE installer makes you close you're open apps. It sucks when you are in the middle of doing something.

...simply all M$ had to do is NOT to use the VISE installer if it is a dumb installer, isn't it?

So, technically M$ is the one to blame for

[boi]

i think you people who are still using IE are to blame

[LordOphidian]

cabbage, actually it is MS's fault. Many others have used the same version of the MindVision software installer and have not required all apps to be quit. If they had taken the time to uncheck the little box that requires all apps be quit, we wouldn't have the problem.

Of cource that doesn't explain them setting the path for saving the installer log file to "/", which requires root privs to write to...

[toast]

Anyway, it's quite clear: Explorer on Mac Microsoft doesn't give a sh!t about, and any support of it, like this installer, is crappy.

I hope Chimera will quickly integrate Flash and Quicktime, as well as real media, so that Explorer can go to the Trash.

But still... I find this 5.2.2 version quite fast ! Browsing this site, for instance.

I gave the new IE version a trial run. Still allows popups. Still often fails to render page text. Shows the b&w spinner way too often. Overwrote my modified DefaultHelperApps.plist file to reinstate itself as default browser. Left its installation log at the root level of my boot drive.
It's no longer on my system.

Has anybody else noticed that IE's Get Info hasn't changed? It threw me off at first - I thought it installed it somewhere else and what I was looking at was 5.1.

I also tried to drag and drop an image from Explorer onto my desktop. It should just create the document on the desktop, as if you right-clicked (or control-clicked) on the image and saved as…, but it's never worked for me in OS X. Do any other Explorer users have this problem?
