IE 7 Beta 2

I\’ve decided to give IE Beta 2 a run on my computer. At first glance, I wasn\’t very happy with it, but so far, things are good. Almost all of our sites check out in it, it seems to be handling CSS at least as well as, if not better, than the previous version of IE. The interface isn\’t to bad, I can see where Microsoft is going, and it comes down to one very simple principle:

\"Making the simple complex is easy. Making the complex simple, awesomely simple, now THAT is genius.\" – Charles Mingus

Basically, Microsoft has stopped trying to do more, and instead, has tried getting it to be a simple interace. I think they have a ways to go, but it\’s better than it was.

Speaking of things that are just genius (aka, simple). Google has done it again, this time with the stock market. If you haven\’t seen this yet:

finance.google.com

Be sure to play around with the chart, and the officers. Quite impressive. Quite simple. Quite Google. All this happening at the exact same time that Windows delays Vista to 2007.

What to do… What to do…
