This is in no way a "Weak browser" Maybe in the past it was, but all I can say right now is "WOW!" Even using Firefox with various tweaks in effect I have never loaded web pages so fast! In my opinion, Firefox now has a serious rival

Thanks Vishal.Its Way Faster than other Browser....!!!

Dear Vishal,
Will Windows Vista SP2 update Internet Explorer? I am currently using TheWorld; although I am still using Firefox for certain sites, and IE7 for Microsoft websites, I am wondering if the update will be automatic. If it is not automatic, would it be a good idea to wait for the service pack to be applied before installing?
thanks a bunch.
Ron
Just a quick word for you Vishal. I just saw that TheWorld Browser has another version which is now using the IE8 kernel to render. http://www.ioage.com/en/uplog.htm
much love, thanks for the great site.

Have a question for you VG.This is not related to IE8 so I am sorry if it is in the wrong area.Question is :Can I install Virtual PC 2007 on my Vista Home Premium SP1 32-Bit OS.I want to use Vista as the host and Windows XP Media Center 2005 Edition as the Guest.Please let me know if it is a possibility or not?Thankyou in advance.Just to add, I thought it would be much easier to go this route instead of a Dual Boot and all the problems associated with it.IE:Vista is on my C Drive 1st position.This is where Win XP Media Center 2005 should be.I do not want to run in to a problem where I can not boot at all.Just being Pro-active instead of reacting to a situation.Please respond.Cheers mate.

The update is not automatic at the time, though it may be later.
