 Hi, Windows users.
I just downloaded the update for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Beta and evaluated this preview release on my Windows Professional Web IDE. Microsoft really enhanced and improved his browser and I, unfortunately, expended my time once again updating this crap. Sincerely, man, I prefer Neoplanet or another decent improvement for Internet Explorer 5.0 or 5.5. I consider that this new release is excessively heavy, slow and sophisticated with absolutely superfluous enhancements.

Microsoft presents this new release of Internet Explorer as the stat of the art in browser's universe, but I saw nothing fantastic here. Only a grotesque Personal Bar at the left side of this browser and some little "ghost" bars in my desktop. I tested this one surfing professional on the Net, visiting several complicated places and sucking data. Sincerely, I prefer the previous version, that runs rather than this new release. To runs this new browser without problems I unchecked the <Show Web Content> of my Active Desktop. Fine, uh?

Well, if you are an authentic Windows puppet you can agree to this new Microsoft Internet Explorer and you will be happy with this new trash made for stupid people. Below you can see some photos I made here during the download and during the install of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Beta.

I will not rate this new browser because it is a Beta preview release.

 Sincerely, man, I'm expecting that Microsoft modifies this preview release and make a decent Beta, because this one is really very heavy on Windows 2000 environment, consuming excessive CPU and RAM. I will not upgrade the hardware of my Beta Test Machine (Pentium 200 + 128 MB EDO RAM) only because Microsoft has updated Internet Explorer. For me, if a soft don't runs decently on this Test Machine this soft simply is not good for anyone.

This new release is running just fine here and have not problems; don't freezes, don't interferes in multitask works. The problem I saw is just this one is excessively heavy for a simple browser and demonstrates very high delay for some responses needed by professional surfers during his works day-by-day. E.g. I've some folders with selected bookmarks on the IE head bar, such Links, Downloads, Inf, Mys, Crack, as you can see in some photos here, including the first of them, at the head of this page. In the previous version if I click one of these folders it is opened immediately and I can choose a web address to jump it; Internet Explorer 6.0 sucked this data from the previous release and now if I click one of these referred folders in his head bar the delay may be around 1 minute (I said ONE MINUTE, man!!).
