IE 8 looking fantastic

Watch the video from the IE 8 lead developers.

IE8 is looking fantastic from what is being discussed. it should be XPSP2 and Vista compliant.. I'm not sure if XPSP1 will be supported or not.

Older MS OS systems will be out of luck.

Thx. Glad to be back..

 I've been back on the SFC job and Windows Vista for about 3 weeks now.. Trying to figure a way to get Vista and the Dynaverse servers to chat a little better with each other.. I'm getting closer to having Vista and SFC OP 100% compatible.. currently I have found a fix for Vista and GSA, I also found how to get OP working correctly for Vista, and I have gotten TCP/IP connectivity back in OP on Vista.. and Dynaverse Access is back, but playing on the server itself starts out quick and normal, but you have to launch the game, exit, reload game and you get past a firewall issue in OP and the Directory Servers or GSA (Not sure which).. But movement on the server after first logging on is like normal. You can launch a mission, NP.. coming back from mission, server ats like it is stuck in molasses.. usually clears up after 1 min or so after you crawl to a different hex. then it is back to moving normal again.

I figure that there is a Direct Play issue between Direct X 10 and Direct X 9.0c.. I'm just currious if there will be a compatibility issue in XPSP 3 or Direct X 9.0LE and Vista SP 1 Direct X 10.1 (which I am using in the public release Beta)

the Vista Sp 1 RC shows much improvement in Networking over the Out of Box Vista..

but this is a different topic all together..

Also if you still have OP, I put out the OP Enhancement Package v5.1 in the Dynaverse 2 forum..

Thanks for the welcome back.
