This has been a on-going problem for such a long time. I don't even trust other computers(other than my home), to check my emails. Because I know for a fact that it is affected by spy-ware and by no chance do I want some stupid hacker in germany(Germany has a big crowd of hackers) or somehwere to be reading my e-mails.

Personally, I think Microsoft only makes a problem bigger. More than privacy, or safety, it's all a game of money. Microsoft is made only for geniuses, because they're the only one who can actually safeguard their computer using Microsoft. OK in short, I hate Micorsoft and all its upgrades, and all its problems, and all its money and all etc. You don't have to hate Microsoft but it's a fact that Microsoft isn't great.

Downloadable Files: The file download ability can only be initiated by a user click. Pages that say "your download will begin in 10 seconds" and have an ad before launching the file will now fail. : Any good reason to do that? As Texan said, I don't see any problem with that, unless its purpose is to somehow get people away from downloading files from websites with ads?

- Popup Windows: These may now only be initiated by a user action, not automatically, and only one popup will be created based on that user action... so a popup cannot spawn a popup, even if the original was spawned by a click. : I'd rather use my pop-up blocker.. but anyways it's good that they atlast did something to stop irritating its users with ads
- MS Java Virtual Machine: This is no longer distributed. You should direct your users to java.sun.com. : That's good, I really don't like MS JVM, but forced to use it.
- Browser Windows Alterations: You can no longer do a fullscreen window, it will only launch a maximized window. You can no longer move the statusbar, titlebar or toolbar off of the visible screen.: Again, whats the point of not having fullscreen? Not like it's a big deal....
Status bar: good
