firefox is better, why you using windows ?![]()
At work I use windows, and Google Chrome is waaaayyyyy faster than Firefox will ever be (especially in boot time, firefox takes forever!).

IE7 support might be nice too...you know, I'm forced to use it at work...it has been out for atleast a year now. And it is surprisingly somewhat more secure than IE6. You'd think Apple would have their act together, MobileMe has been a letdown since day 1.
Yeah, well why did this update break its usability with Google Chrome? This is my only browser!

I'm looking forward to having it work for me for the first time ever. I've had to log in every single time.- "Keep me logged in for two weeks" checkbox now works reliably
Blame microsoft, I.E is an extrodinarily poor browser with minimal W3C compliance, supporting only CSS1.x - I believe. Also, it still doesn't pass the Acid Test. It is only the major browser now that fails it. ( Note: Firefox 3.1 beta passes the acid test )
To my knowledge, IE *still* does not support XHTML.
IE lags way behind Safari, FireFox and Opera.
Mobile Me contains functionality that IE just does not support. Apple should not have to cripple MobileMe for IE's stake.
In fact, more companies should close the door on IE, it will encourage microsoft to get their act together.
Maybe they could fix it so it doesn't give a slow script message with more than 3000 contacts!
I am still getting the message today (12/23). Doesn't seem any faster
Amen to that. IE works great with MS apps, anything else - give or take. Just like stuff built with MS APPS may not work with other browsers, only IE (ie SQL parts, etc). It is a constant battle here at work with IE bottlenecks, etc. Having to re-write a lot of applications as our databases grow, just to get around IE issues. Also, don't ever try using Google Chrome with MS-Apps, talk about your nightmare.
MS <-> MS
Anything else <-> Anything else
MS '= anything else.
For you non-programmer types, means MS compatible with MS, anything else compatible with anything else, MS' not always compatible with anything else.
Because of this we had to tell people not to use Google Chrome, watch use of Firefox in certain areas, and if you are on a mac (which we are just starting to support), have a VPC with Windows just for the MS specific areas you may hit.
MS web technologies had never ever been truely web compliant. I built a beautiful website using frontpage , back in the day. Had to disable a good many parts of it as all other browsers choked, and even IE could not handle part of what frontpage offered consistantly.
its not Apple's fault that Chrome is still in Beta. Stop wining.
I agree, Chrome is really impressive. However its still in beta, so sometimes MobileMe will freak out. Time to time.

Have you been living under a rock? Chrome isn't in beta any more...
Apple isn't blocking browsers based on capability, their code simply checks to see if you have Firefox or Safari running on Windows or Mac OS X. Linux users are also left with cold support (even on Firefox).
Completely disagree. Chrome is fantastic, I'm waiting for the Mac version. I find it much faster, more stable, less hungry and simpler than Firefox. And some of us are forced to use Windows, don't ask silly questions.![]()
Is it too much to ask to have the iDisk work reliably? On multiple computers that run just fine otherwise when I copy anything to any iDisk folder the progress bar goes quickly then hangs forever at the final stage.
