CA3LE Posted July 12, 2006 CID Share Posted July 12, 2006 :-/ -- I was hoping they would have changed the look a little bit -- it looks just the same I guess I need to read that article and see what's changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted July 12, 2006 CID Share Posted July 12, 2006 According to reports, the beta version comes with a built-in antiphishing tool, improved search box capabilities and an integrated spell checker. Changes have also been made to the RSS support. I am going to guess that if there is a new GUI that it will be release when the final product is out.. I thought that GUI was on the original improvement list to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilatedpeoples28 Posted July 12, 2006 CID Share Posted July 12, 2006 i heard somewhere that there is still alot of improvements and such that they left out in beta 1. All of those and a visual upgrade should be coming on beta 2 or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
