What do you think of IE7?

kiwi_2005 · 11-01-06, 09:28 AM

What a load of rubbish, give me Opera 9.2 anyday or even firefox. And whats with the validation before install? The beta never required this. Must be the only browser ive come across that asks to check your windows, then it goes on about install anti malware tools or whateva its called to your PC you have no option to disallow this - its most likely microsoft spyware. Well had to put it on as Opera dont like My sons Bebo site, so its on but i wont be using it. My Kaspersky internet security came up with message: "Intrusion detected in IE 7.exe"

Microsofts got a long way to go before i dump opera for theirs.

I think I would have to agree. I downloaded IE7 a few days ago thinking it might be nice to see what it's like. Dumb thing doesn't even work right. Should've known as it came from Microsoft. I'll take Firefox 2.0 anyday, and when I load it up with extensions it becomes even better. My problems with IE7 aren't just with me, either. When checking the Microsoft newsgroup site for IE, there are others with similar problems. I really just stick with having IE in case a site doesn't like FF.
