Based on the tenor of your comment it is apparent that you are a Windows user. Nothing wrong with that mind you. This is a beta release for Windows. For Mac users a lot of these comments are alien as the user experience has historically been different to that of a Windows user. I would suggest that you take your listed observations and share them with Apple. There is nothing wrong with what you have outlined but, they don't do much good leaving them here. Please send them to Apple as they will definitely go a long way to helping native Windows Internet Explorer users to make the switch. Thanks for your comment. @John
