Okay, we'll take a look at it and state the obvious.. The word clone is in the about box. This means it is a fake, a mockup if you will, that just uses the existing IE rendering engine. It is NOT a Microsoft product.

It has been designed around the Windows "Longhorn" Slate theme, thats all.

Also notice that the symbol Beta and the T in Team are all out of whack... i hardly think microsoft would release something that dodgy...*thinks harder* i retract my previous comment

edit: that would be the ( R ) symbol not

don't forget the build number. all of microsoft's builds are from the release date of the first version. thats why XP is 2096 . thats the build since the first NT build.


0008 my ass.


and ur right. since it says microsoft, it must be microsoft.

There is a real version available, non-remade. Directly ripped from longhorn, but..who the hell would want to run an alpha/beta of Internet Explorer? I mean god.. most of us hate it enough already..don't add on to the unstableness.

If that is real...

* Why does the buildnumber doesn't make any sense?
* Why is the about window a simple and bad made BMP?
* Why is half of the resources in German?
* Why is there a "register" and "reminder" form inside?
* Why is there a mention in the resources of "CoolBrowser"?
* Why is there a runtime.exe from "Kelly Media AG" which holds "click.exe" which is written in VB6!
* Why is there a config file called Config.BOB?
* Why are there strings like "C:\BrowserBob\Develop1.3", "BrowserBob'#39's Construction Kit" inside?

I tell you why.... Because:

This is nothing more then a bad made skin with/for BrowserBob with some CoolBrowser stuff...
CoolBrowser: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/Show...sp?txtCodeId=42145 or http://www.coolbrowser.com/ (dunno if they are the same, but these are the only two valid links I've found for CoolBrowser.


thread closed and put to the recycle bin...

wth is browserBob?



edit: didn't notice the link..... whoops
