I had been performing silk n treatments for over a year now on my facial beard. Until then I had a very thick dark beard. I am thrilled with the results. The actual hairs are very thin and I have not gone back for treatment in around six months. I am going to say that it did feel painful slightly on my top lip and there had been instances when I got a little bit of redness on my neck. I recommend Intense pulsed light to people with thicker hairs or currently have major patches of hair they want to get rid of. For the guys that want to do their own rough facial beard be prepard for spots over the following months’ time and a lot of people saying dude whats up with your facial hair.

Andb – you are comparing something free with something you have to buy. Of course something free will have a massive take up. You only buy something when you have a need to, but when something is free, the mere invitation is enough for almost everybody.

Put in the ‘be part of a world record’ and every Numpty on the planet will have a go.

I am not a follower of fashion, thus I didn’t rush in where angels fear to tread, and waited until this weekend to download FF3. To say I am under whelmed is an understatement.

Some of the sites I visit everyday don’t render as expected under FF3, text stretches and overlays incorrectly, where under FF2 it didn’t.

Of course, the same is true of some sites under IE8, but you come to expect things not to work under IE, whereas under FF you tend to think they will render more accurately.

As for Vista, well, I don’t like the GUI; the nipple buttons ruined it for me enough to only use it when I have to test my applications.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Where is the need for these upgrades?

It would be more interesting to see the IE 7 number filtered via Vista. That is how many were using IE 7 simply because it came with Vista, and how many upgraded *to* IE 7

The new version will not leave the addresses in the upper tool bar. The old version would leave the addresses in the tool bar and not delete them. Why the change?

I’d like to draw attention to the effectiveness of FF’s “stunt”. Look at how much MS had to invest in its Vista publicity “stunt” and yet how many people were eager to move over? The point here is that FF has succeeded in building community with its users – they are excited to be using FF and using the newest versions. It is very comparable to the Ubuntu phenomenon. Best of all, this is done at nearly no monetary cost. IE, and MS products in general, require million dollar campaigns (and these are indeed stunts too) but yet the vast majority of users are strongly hesitant to move to the newer versions (I can not say upgrade for obvious reasons).

More power to FF. It’s built a strong community of not just users, but supporters, by being open, honest and by valuing what its users need and want. When you have something great, the people will want it.

Whoops, further… the PCPRO site might have a higher concentration of techies and not be representative of the rest of the population, but who do you think the rest of the population look to when they need advice on the best software for their system?

Yeah, the FF3 download day was a stunt. But hey, it was still voluntary!!!! How do you compare that to Microsoft’s FORCED upgrade to IE7. That completely skews Microsoft’s results – good marketing trick for sure.

What I’m really curious about is that how are there still so many IE6 users? Why have those users gone to the considerable trouble to disable the forced IE7 upgrade. What does THAT say about IE7 popularity?

I think the figures for the PC Pro site are a relatively good representation of the technical community, although many people will be browsing from work, where they will probably not have a choice of browser.

As to switching to Betas. I switched my Mac over to RC3, the rest of my machines stayed with FF2 until release day, with a virtual machine on my work computer for testing.

The slow take-up of IE7 doesn’t bode well for IE8, and web developers. I hate developing web applications currently, because I have to write them so that they work with all other browsers than IE, and they validate fine. I then have to take the working code and go back and deliberately break it and make it non-compliant, just so that it will work in IE6 and IE7. I’m just glad that IE5.5 usage has dropped off the radar, that made things even worse!

Looking at the Beta of IE8, the sooner they fix the bugs on that and it becomes the most used version of IE, the better. That will make making websites much easier, while we only need a single, unbroken, version of the site!
