Some goodness here.
I love Firefox for many reasons (as I’m sure we all do). One reason inparticular is that it believes me when I tell it I download something. So, when I click a link to an MP3, for example:
Downloading an MP3 from RCRDLBL
It starts to download the MP3 before I have even chose a place to put it. Sometimes it has complete downloaded before I click “OK.” Presumably, it downloads to cache, and then moves the file to whatever director I select.
IE does not do this. It patiently waits for me to select my directory, and then downloads the file, costing me extra seconds/minutes/hours. Why? What’s it waiting for? Is it assuming I made a bad decision?
Good, usable software knows us and anticipates our every move. Bad software does not.
