Most likely he got it from a file sharing site bcz it's a BETA build...

not neccisarily, you never know..I mean I have Windows Media Player 10 and M$ Windows Codename Longhorn so you never know Although looking at the image I find it hard to believe that build 0008 got out..it's usually like build 30 or 40 or higher....

omg, why you say its fake?? if you guys want it let me know and I will send it to you on MSN.
this is the folder look.. attachment.

Googled it and DLed it. Seems really .

1) Too much Extra space around the outside, too much of a waste.
2) Grey IE? I know Longhorns got a grey theme, but still, IE/M$ normally has a blue theme as default
3) I hope that's not what the full release of IE 6.05, they're taking a step backwards with that.

Oh well, sticking with FF anyway.

This is not an official release from Microsoft. This is a clone that a user has created to look like the version in Microsoft Windows "Longhorn"

Lets take a look at some of the evidence:
- runtime looksl ike a RAR file or an executable rar file. Microsft would never use this as they stick to their CAB file format for compression.
- Graphics and sounds are never or rarely stored separatly. They are always included into the executable as resources.
- From the readme, "now you can delete bocked sites. for that the files delblock and blocked.txt are requiet so dont.... for PopupBlocker to work you need a special runtime installed on your system. I packed it up to.." For starters, i thought it was spelt required? Personal pronouns are never used in Microsoft products as the whole team develops the software. A text file for storing blocked sites? Hmm.. Microsoft made the registry to store application data.

I could post more if i wanted but my dinner is just about ready

The thing that stood out in my mind is the upgrade is only to version 6.0.5 from 6.0.2 and from the look of that browser there's been some clearly visible visual changes and probably some important code changes. I'd expect it to be IE 6.1 or maybe higher due to the extreme makeover...

It's not fake i got it but its not from microsoft beta team or whateva i found it at neowin
And it has the same look as IE in Wndows Codename Longhorn

We all know its a real browser...just not the browser that its saying that it is...

The first screenshot is fake, anyway, take a look at the taskbar app titles

What if that fake IE includes a virus? :redodgy:
