IE 7 on general release
You all know its not for me but it may just be for you.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx

Get it while its hot!

(PS first bug already found )

It will still be a lot more secure than IE6 if you still use that.

Pass me the blunt knives, I think I would rather stab myself in the eyes than use that at home.



I will try it out on my work PC

Re: IE 7 on general release
Does it make a huge difference? I've recently installed Firefox.

IE7 is much better, has a lot of features that firefox has.

I've always been a microsoft fan though, shame on me ;-)

Had mine for a while but only use it ocassionally as I prefer Firefox and Opera. It is a vast improvement but does not suport my full BTYahoo setup yet.

Re: IE 7 on general release
Definetley worth installing to get rid of IE6. Its not fool proof but its a lot better. Plus as mentioned, it has taken a lead from Opera and Firefox in a lot of its functionality.

Spuggie, ,it has been mentioned that there is actualy a Yahoo branded version of it????
