The deal is that Adobe is far behind in porting their applications to 64-bit. And 64-bit browsers can only run 64-bit plugins (or at least, not without major difficulties).]]>Jun 12th 2009 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/Jun 12th 2009 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/Now you see why 32 bit IE is installed by default. Adobe doesn't make a 64 bit version of Flash. Microsoft would have a lot of upset people if they had a default version of IE that didn't have flash. Not to mention all the fanbois who would be complaining that M$ is just copying the iPhone.

Straight from Adobe themselves.

Trust me, I have firefox set to clear out all private info, except passwords, everytime i close Firefox, and it makes not a one difference. Its funny cause my Chrome history is almost 2 months long and it loads up fine. My Vista laptop has half the specs as my desktop and it loads firefox lightning quick and they are configured the same with the same addons. IDK, but beside that, the memory leaks are a killer and i have performed every tweak known to Google on Firefox to help dampen some of the leaks, but all it does is prolong it and makes FF hangup 10x worse when it overflows memory. I have 4GB in my DT and firefox will use about 800-900MB before it starts slowing and crashing and all the tweaks in the world cant stop that. It takes down my whole system and i have to force close FF.

Maybe i will try the FF3.5B99 until the 3.5 release comes out. Test it for memory leaks.]]>Jun 12th 2009 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/
The hell's wrong with Opera? I am honestly struggling to find any fault with it besides it's RAM use, and come on, if you're short on RAM, upgrade to the 21st century.]]>Jun 12th 2009 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/Jun 12th 2009 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/Being a mixed Linux/Windows user, I still find some websites that require IE to show properly.

The possibility that I am seeing is that the Desktop will have an icon saying something like "Go to Internet" that will popup a combobox to select the browser to be installed. If you are running on a 3G connection this can be painful if it does not support resume.

I would like to say that I am addict to Firefox due to their wonderful extensions (25 add-ons in use at the moment).

As for the topic :) I think it might not be such a bad idea. So what if OEMs are provided with free IE8, every other browser is free as well. It would be interesting to see if any major OEMs start providing Firefox or Opera with their systems. After all Dell did start putting Linux on their computer (a bit different I know, but close enough) so why not this.]]>Jun 12th 2009 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/windows-7-e-coming-to-europe-without-internet-explorer/
