And the prognosis... well my first impression was that not much was different except its got this cool panel view (ie takes all your tabs and shows them to you on the same page and this works pretty quickly between the pages). Aside from that I'm still sticking to firefox and the major reason why - when I open up a new tab in firefox it happens in less than a second while IE takes a good couple of seconds to 'connect' and then open - DRIVES ME CRAZY!
The word going around the blogging world is that it could hit Google's advertising model as it can hide the audit trail of websites that you have been visited and thus not deliver appropriate advertising.
Now, don't be alarmed this is not affecting Google's adsense program but its display advertising (the reason it paid more than $3billion for Doubleclick) model. There has been no news from Google as yet and I'm still testing. There is some speculation that Google uses other means to collect your history and doesn't rely on cookies but this 'option' that IE gives its uses will be causing headaches.
Any why you may ask because of the famous 'click-through tracking'! All of us who have made some bucks from it will have a bit more to worry about now as we may start loosing out on lots of sales.
Quick count of my lucky stars, out of all this Yahoo revealed that it had to pass on some 'information' to the Chinese government about its users. This information happened to include an email sent and an IP address, the poor journalist was tracked down and jailed for 10years!
