Ie 7

Anyone trying it?

I tryed a beta and didn't really like it. On a side note, I've been using Firefox 2.0 and I can say that one of the things that really annoyed me about it before has been resolved. Before you couldn't go to sites like windowsupdate unless you were using IE, but now, you can make Firefox use the IE engine on sites that you choose, so it works great on all sites. This mainly helps on sites that use ActiveX shit.

You don't need Firefox 2.0 to do that, there's an extention called IE Tab or something that you can do that with now.

About IE7, it's trash. I tried it at work today to test it out before we deploy it to all of the other machines. I had to restart it 3 times before it would even work. The first time it hung trying to go to the first-time run page and used 99% of my CPU. The second time it told me my internet connection was down when it clearly wasn't.

I do like the tabs in IE finally which always annoys the piss outta me when I'm forced to use it or I'm on a machine that doesn't have FF, but just about every other browser out there has had them for years. They basically ripped off most of the shortcut keys from FF, which is somewhat good I guess if you're already used to them. I still hate the fact that Ctrl + N still opens a new window with the same fucking page you're on instead of a blank window like it should. And one last thing I found in my short test of it, the RSS reader that's built in is pretty nice, except of course if the RSS feed you're trying to view has DTDs in it, in which case IE simply refuses to display it citing an error, lame. Oh and the fact that there's already a vulnerability (http://secunia.com/Internet_Explorer_Arbitrary_Content_Disclosure_Vul nerability_Test/) out for it is quite comical, same old IE.

I still won't ever use it unless forced to for the fact that it's still IE, and that there's no ad-blocking like in FF. FF is almost worth it entirely for the ad-blocking alone.

Ah, what they did on FF 2.0 is include the extension "IE Tab" with the distro. It's great for peep's like me who never heard of it.
