Three days ago I installed Internet Explore 10.0 on my Windows 7 SP1. I downloaded it from here.
Internet Explorer 10
After couple seconds I found out only little changes. Design of buttons changes little bit. Also design of check boxes.
After couple minutes I found following new things:
Text box change
Now you can delete content of text box in one click. Clicking by X on the end of the box:
Delete text box
Password box change
On password box you can see what’s under stars:
Hidden password in box
Show password in box
Easy copy and paste
When you select text and pictures in IE 10.0, you can drag and drop it into some application (e.g. Word, Outlook, …). This is very neat and cool.
Faster
My personal feeling is that webpages are displayed much faster than before, but this can be just feeling 🙂
Last two weeks I had to update some NTP servers from one German company. When I requested new firmware I received following e-mail:
Dear Sir,
unfortunately, I cannot provide a new firmware since your compact flash card is too small and the action might end up in a system’s inconsistency.
Thus, you are also not the only customer who is affected by this, we offer bigger compact flash cards for 65€ each. Please let me know whether this is of interest for you and if you need an official offer.
Mit freundlichem Gruß / With kind regards
So this made my very upset. To be able to upgrade to the newest version of firmware I had to pay 65EUR for new flashcard. So I wrote couple e-mail to this company. I wanted to know the reason why I need to invest more to NTP server. I found out that firmware got big and it cannot be uploaded into flash which came with NTP server. This looked weird to me. Why would I have to invest into device if manufacter’s engineers made a mistake. I already decided not to sell manufacter’s devices. And I though that was end of the story.
Today I received following e-mail:
Dear Ondrej,
I just wanted to let you know that we dramatically improved our update procedure and, after an intensive clean-up, released
the new firmware version 5.34h which can be installed on 64MB compact flash cards without any problems. The new release is 4 MB (~25%) smaller (!) than the previous version without removing any features.
Although you already expressed your extreme dissatisfaction with our products and decided for yourself to not recommend or
buy Meinberg products in the future, your feedback helped us to improve our software and I sincerely thank you for that.
Best Regards,
Heiko
So it’s funny how some angry and mad e-mails can change such a things. Now we can upgrade our devices. But I don’t think we will offer them anymore to customers 🙂
