I’ve finally installed it.
It’s shiny.
I like.
I lost the links toolbar for a while, but I’ve found it now. Perhaps the most exciting thing was that it told me my security settings weren’t tight enough, but rather than just leave it there, it told me which specific setting was wrong (I was permitting unsigned ActiveX downloads) and recommended what to change it to. All in a totally intuitive way.
By default, the menu bar is turned off, so it’ll take me a while to find my way around, but that’s great – the lack of clutter is amazing.
I’ll tell more in a few weeks.
