Hi. Any poetic justice that the new IE 11 is released on the 11th of
November? And while that may be food for thought, for those who choose
to upgrade, I harken back to a question which was big some months back.
I can't remember what the sequence was but in either a subsequent
release of Win-Eyes or a future upgrade of Internet Explorer, much talk
about the usage of the mouse pointer ability would once more be a big
feature. The reasons seemed to involve different lay-outs which weren't
present in earlier versions of IE thus making it much more accessible on
the num keypad but from 9 and 10 and possibly 11, no such luck. But
with that question not really being at the center of focus when
installing it on a laptop for a trial run, I discovered one glaring
difference in 10 vs. 11.
On sites like weather.gov in 10, it would read the forecast
alongside things like this afternoon,,, tonight,,,, tomorrow and so on
with all the relevant text filled in. In IE11, it would simply just say
this afternoon, tonight, tomorrow, with no contextual reason for this
omision in ie11 where it was clearly there in 10 and whats more, it was
right there in Firefox. So til thats sorted out and other sites prove
there worth on IE version 11, 10 seems good enough for now. And let's
be real in the initial assessments, they're like dry runs which are
prone for initial bugs along the way. So for those who've had similar
or slightly different experiences, it'll be interesting to know moving
forward. And as a wrap-around to where it all started, I hope
everyone's Veterans Day was all you hoped always recognizing and being
eternally greatful for those who've made the way of life we continue to
enjoy a foregone reality not just on the holiday but any chance out
there, from sporting events to all other forms of interactions. So as
Tuesday dawns, watch out, stay warm and we'll see where IE takes us all,
bing or no bing.
