Internet Explorer 5.1 on MAC OS X10.1

[macX]

Hi

I just upgraded to 10.1 today

I was testing IE5.1 to see how much improvement Microsoft have done for IE5.1 than 5.1 preview version. It is faster than 5.1 preview BUT when I load microsoft.com and hotmail.com, it is incredibly slow!! I tried to load other websites such as google.com, yahoo.com, it loads fast!!

Has anyone have this problem?? If so, why is that?? Is there any way to fix this stupid problem?!!

Thanks.

I've seen this two. I have found it quite ironic that both Netscape and Mozilla speed away faster (than even IE for the PC does, from what I've seen) at the Hotmail website. I have no idea what the reason for it is, but I believe we could actually use this situation as the definition of "irony".

Has anyone else noticed that the font is all messed up in the favourites toolbar?

yeah i noticed that too, it looks like the fonts aren't anti-aliased or something...weird.

...but that still doesn't mean it's any good!

I noticed that too... go into system prefs, then general, and turn the "text smoothing" option (at the very bottom) to 8 rather than 9. The font MS is using in the toolbar is 9 point, so its not being anti aliased. Looks better with it on IMHO.
