Community poll forum: Will you download and use Internet Explorer 7?

I LOVE IE7

I gave it a bad review when I ran it on my slow laptop in its Beta 2 stage, and then amended that not long ago when I saw 7 in its true beauty. Robert Vamosi is just biased full stop.

I also am very liking XP now, its greatly more stabilised if you shut off automatic updates in my opinion.

Go Ryo Hazuki!! Woop Woop!

I downloaded it but soon had to uninstall as my hp all-in-on quit working. HP hopes to have a fix soon. I 'm thinking it would be smart to wait till all the bugs are worked out, after reading everyones concerns.You guys are great!

Anyone out there ever found a Microsoft program that wasn't full of bugs, failures and flaws? I haven't.

Ever found an upgrade to a Microsoft program that wasn't as a result of a bug, failure, flaw in the previous version or a copy of someone else's good idea? I haven't. (Think Vista is going to be good? Try out the current Apple OS and see if you are going to like Vista.)

I found Internet Explorer 6 always to be a surfing nightmare due to what, to me, seems to be a profound inability to address security and the recent posts suggest to me Internet Explorer 7 is just a continuation (perhaps worse) with the usual Microsoft pointless, useless and annoying "upgrades" designed to make it appear they've done something.

Sick of it? Try Firefox, Opera or anything else, you won't be disappointed. I stuck with Internet Explorer 6 for years and now have Firefox, boy, was I ever wasting my time!!! (Warning though I found Internet Explorer to be an insidious program hard to deactivate... I think another reason to dump it!!)

I'm a dyed in the wool, card carrying Firefox user... converted from Opera which I used for years. I haven't actually used IE (except when forced by badly written websites - and now not at all thanks to IE TAB) for about 9 or 10 years. I'd rather have a tooth pulled with no pain killers than go back to IE.

I dislike IE7 and am having many problems. Fortunately, I too only use it when forced to by certain sites. For the last year, I used the Verizon fios/Yahoo hybrid browser, which, it turns out is a modified IE. no wonder it's goofy. They have changed the bookmarks and some other things that make it difficult to use and I hate it.

As soon as I figure out how to export my extensive bookmark file so I can use it in Firefox, I will do so. The folks at Verizon are playing dumb. There is no information on how to export bookmarks to use in another program and I cannot find them on my computer! They keep sending me information on how to import bookmarks into their browser bar, & directing me to their so called help page.

Anyway, hmm, what's the IE tab in Firefox. I could not find it.

Thx

I avoid using microsoft produts and will not use them on my personal PC. Work, is the only place where I have to use MSIE to perform certain task of my job! Baah Microsoft! There are better products at a cheaper price and work!

Penguin Power Prevails (PPP)!

Reason: Do you really have to ask?

I tried both the last beta release as well as the first production release and found IE7 to be a resource hog. It starts out working fine, but then slows down more and more as it's being use.

Bottom line: I went back to Firefox.

Internet Explorer 7 "may" be more secure, I really can't make a comment on it's security as Internet Explorer 6.0 may be just as secure with the recent patches. In respect to use, I like version 6.0 much better, maybe because it isn't as slow as version 7.0, again it's hard to say as I know it may be my computer, my provider or who knows what but it just doesn't work as well for me. I like version 6.0 and if it's not broke, why fix it but then I use Firefox for the most part anyway.

is they never get the bugs worked out of them and they tend to mess with other stuff thats loaded on your computer so there fore I'll let other folks who's in a rush to do explorer 7 and then complain and buy yards
of duct tape to rap around there heads to keep it from exploding . and bill and crew will work out the bugs
then it might be worth doing . for now ya know
Google works good for me the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence for example windows 98 to start now to then and in between .

hey everyone be cool

Can't run it on Win 2000 and am not going to upgrade to install it. FireFox works just fine.

They already have to much access and control over my computer as is. I am an old dos user and would almost prefer going back to those days. Nuff said. Larry

windows Xp Ppo, IE 6

Oh, yeah - I d/l'ed it and installed it - well, I TRIED to install it! Everything went fine until the reboot - came up with BSOD, and wouldn't load. No safe mode, no Last Known Good Configuration, nothing. Had to restore from Ghost b/u and I swear I won't make that mistake again! Internet Exploder 7.0 "Update" now resides in my ''Hidden Updates'' folder! All I ever use IE for is Windows Updates anyway, so I really don't need IE7. FF2.0 - now, that's where my vote goes!

That is exactly the case that happened to me, especially with 'tabbed browsing' enabled.

Another thing you might want to know about is that its Release Candidate (RC) Version (to me) never produced such ironic results.

I would say that the RC version was more-or-less more 'bugproof'.

and cuz diggnation doesnt like it either http://revision3.com/diggnation/2006-10-26
