OH yea lets change the logo and leave the code the same so people think they are getting something else when it is all the same. -.-

 

[geossj5]

lets hope its not just the logo thats changed...

 

[ricardok]

I've IE9 beta installed, but that's all I have. Firefox 4 beta6 installed and in use here.

 

[coopchennick]

Eh, it's nice. I don't use ie anyways.

 

[jhansonxi]

An updated logo is newsworthy? That's Apple- or Ubuntu-level hype.

So I definitely not an IE fan, but the code is MUCH different than IE7/8. Same rendering engine maybe, but much improved code.

 

[Cobra007]

doesn't seem too different to me

Instead, it should look like a compass...

Safari already stole that one =p

No matter what or how many "badge", "skin" or "suit" MS changes its IE software; as long that the programming code or any other critical functional system are not optimized, upgraded or changed for the best, a garbage will always be garbage.

Seriously, they took the time to write up a story about the IE logo being a lighter shade of blue.

Bored much?

 

[eklipz330]

looks like they moved backwards with the logo design

 

[antize]

Some of the commentators here think it's the same code as in previous versions of IE. This is not the case. That is why the new IE has a score of almost 100% in the Acid3 test and have very reputable JavaScript performance as shown in SunSpider benchmark. This is not your grandfather's IE, but is it good enough to compete with the offerings from Mozilla, Google, Apple and Opera?

 

[theshonen8899]

I like the old one better. Not that it matters much to me (Opera user).

 

[duk3]

I think this looks more like the IE5 logo.

 

[haunted one]

They made it lighter.

How does this deserve an article of its own?

Fear not...they decreased the multiple by which Firefox out-speeds it....to a measly 6(?) anyway, its still a rather large number to even consider using it over Firefox or Chrome.

 

[alexcheng]

the light blue looks disgusting to me :/

 

[JOSHSKORN]

Can't wait until websites shut off IE8 support. Buh-bye Windows XP for good!

 

[Drag0nR1der]

I'm trying to sum up what I think of this... I dunno... I guess 'meh' fits the bill

 

[zambonithug]

In other news, my wife painted her nails a lighter shade of red.

 

[number13]

I just uninstalled it,went back to 8, lots of pages had issues, misplace typng , weird, and I use Opera

[ohim]

Actually the old one looks better. Still can`t figure out why ppl want to fix things that are done right from the first place ... in this situation the logo..
