I've just installed it, but so far it looks pretty slick. Tabbed browsing is included, and the interface underwent a huge overhaul.

Not bad at all, just got done with another windows re-install and well... I've been looking for alternatives to Firefox. Tried Opera and wasnt too impressed, so this seems to be a much better solution.

Very interesting. I like the new additions to IE 7, Microsoft seems to have done something right (for once?). I'll have to download IE 7 over the weekend and check it out.
With that said, it's still going to be my number 2 browser. The extensions in firefox make other options pale in comparison when it comes to my internet viewing pleasure. Unless Microsoft supports a version of AdBlock (which is extremely unlikely) I'm going to stick with my ad free way of life. Thanks for the link DeeBye, Cheers, Munk

Attempting to DL and install it this morning. Its been "downloading updates for Internet Explorer 7" for the last hour 47 minutes on a full T-1. No way to stop the download and my machine is running slower than molasses. GG Microsoft.
I was mostly using IE only for enhanced functionality in Outlook Web Access, but now the upgrade to IE7 is bombing when I try to send an e-mail message. So, I'll use the "simple" version in Firefox until they get it patched.

Don't you kids know you are just downloading one of the worst trojan horses at all?
Don't do it!!! Remember who you are dealing with and don't be fooled again. It will still end up in tears just like last time. Remember kiddies, Microsoft IS the virus and the spyware you intentionally install on your machine. Just say no to M$. :o

I am up to document 6000 and something on text edit. I am not sure, but I think it has been at least a couple of months since I last rebooted my machine. My spunky little G3 iBook has been running with out a reboot since, hrm, August. I know from previous experience that installing anything from M$ on my machines would destroy my treasured stability. Sigh. I can remember when Intel Inside used to be a warning lable. The world has become strange to me.

I have a program that works with quicktime that allows me to watch WMV movies should I so desire. Windows uses such lousy formats that it is astonishingly easy to hack and work around it.
WMV movies always look like crap for some reason. Ugh. Real Player too. There is another program I do not have on my machine. Talk about instability.

Quote:OK! no option to auto-open links in new foreground tabs = the suck I second this, What's the damn point of using tabs if each time you click a link it opens the new page in a seperate window? DUHHHHH... TABS people! Secondly for all those people that despise the look of the windows OS and use other theme managers ala AlienGuise IE7's reconfigured layout does not work with these. I installed IE7 for about 20 minutes and *ZIP* *BANG* SYSTEM RESTORE! Like Pete i'll probably wait around till Vista etc. to fool around with this more.

Quote:Real Player too. There is another program I do not have on my machine. Talk about instability. I second that Doc. Realplayer hasn't been on my computer since I upgraded from Win 2k to Win Xp. I remember it being possibly one of the worst programs (this of course has been eclipsed by a miriad of other programs since). DeeBye, thanks for reminding me of the future auto-update problem. Does the new IE take up any more memory than ie. 6? Currently I have a older computer running for my mothers use. It's already slow as molases, and would like to keep it from getting anymore bogged down. Cheers, Munk |
