"Going gold" normally means that you got a gold medal at the Olympics, or that your music albums sold enough copies to get a "gold record".
However, as usual in computerland, the meaning is stretched a bit: "going gold" of ie only means... that it will be put on the market!
Nice newspeak.

I'd rather they take their time and do it right, than a rush job to meet arbitrary deadlines. I'm using beta 2, and it pretty much rocks. Stable, fast, secure, and ui is nice.

I stopped using IE a long, long time ago. It's slow, bloated and less than user friendly. Much like another one of their recent products (rhymes with pista).

Hopefully they take a cue from their many competitors or at least promise to make is less annoying like they promised with.... ista.

This is not a bash against MS as they make a lot of great products, (XP, mice, keyboards, games, etc.) but IE needs a lot of work.

I've seen the MSDN page on what IE8 will support in its final form, and almost no CSS3 will be in there - not even stuff FF has been doing since v2. No border-radius (lame!), no column support, no multiple backgrounds, no border images. Blah. IE8 will be great competition for Firefox 1.5. It's time to ditch that renderer and just go with WebKit (compatible license, unlike Gecko).

I found myself in IE the other day using Symantec's Licensing site. Amazingly, the back button crashed the browser. I sat there chuckling and shaking my head. I think the last time I had used IE was months before and the same result. amazing what people put up with.

My brother can't stand it ( http://www.stalky.org reddit style clone) and he has to develop for it.... :(
