Certainly not links pointing elsewhere than to Microsoft.com,
or to other than the very first item you'd find in a Google search
for "Internet Explorer" (on which Microsoft page the "Download" link
is the very same as posted above, as you should certainly
carefully search and verify for yourself).

I found that my HP printer programs wouldn't work with IE7 installed.
And my favorite Google News gave me repeated lockups.Probably other programs too but I gave less notice to others.
HP issued a fix after a couple of weeks.

It appears that there are a number of programs out there that have
incompatibilities with IE7 which presumably will be fixed after the
complaints roll in. Best to hold off on EI7 for a couple of months.
EI7 looks a little better than EI6,
but not enough to endure the present hassles.


Only Microsoft can manage to wreck everything,
just to moderately improve a browser that others have already
vastly improved for years without imposing any collateral damage at all,
and without being restricted exclusively to Windows XP/2003

The long expected final version of Internet Explorer 7 is here...


Hey, isn't that download link for the same domain as the one in "Best
Spywa Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.2" from a few messages up? Why not link to
Microsoft directly? If this was an effort to get us to click on to your
website, nice try but we're too smart.

NOW PLAYING: "Not A Second Time" by the Beatles

P.S. I'll use Firefox before I absolutely have to switch to IE7.


Interestingly, two of the cruise lines I sell (Royal Caribbean and
Celebrity) recently sent out an email saying to NOT use 7, as they
don't support it and won't until some time next year.

But FF works just fine.

Not a good idea to use such volunteered links for downloads. Without
regard to that issue, I'd like to comment as follows --

.. . .

Looks are the minor portion, as are usability feature changes.
Most people will not notice the core improvements or how
they impact securability, except by sites/codes that are broken
until their supplier fixes them. Since MS had a very lengthy
campaign to get the work out and let providers fix their sites
and codes well ahead of IE 7 release, I just use it to measure
the degree of consumer concern of those providers.
I also gladly leave those providers behind, at least for the
time being, and enjoy the bit of enhanced easy of mind from
leaving IE 6 behind.

G'day:

These days, Google doesn't seem to be interested in anything other than
making BIG bucks.


As a business, they must be interested in making money. They also give free
Internet access in certain areas - I bet they don't have enough
clickodollars generated by that service to cover the cost. And we have the
whole Web 2.0 story clearly catalysed by Google.

Will they actupon the abuse complaint? Not sure.

Yes, that's right, IE7 works just fine with the version of QuickBooks Pro I
use, for all of the features I use.

So, where's the fuss?

I note that you don't mention whether the cruise lines you mention support
FireFox - just that it works.

I ahve gotten them to take action. It is NOT easy. However, they can and will if enough
abuse and subsequent complaints are filed.

For Example: R o n a l d L. G r o s s i spam of '05

The fact that a site actually works with all (or most) browsers
is de facto "supporting" those browsers;
regardless of what might change tomorrow,
the "bottom line" measure of what's "supported" today
is what actually works today,
and to build a structure that doesn't put strain
on any browsers (or email clients which receive HTML)
is a responsible way to build a site,
likely to pay off in attracting and keeping users.

Does this mean that Microsoft needs the cooperation of
web designers to protect Windows, while other browsers
have instead concentrated on making their browsers
immune to security vulnerabilities, without disabling them
from being useful with the existing world of sites out there?

Is Microsoft the dictator of web standards, which if followed
would solve the compatibility problems, or is Microsoft
a major violator of web standards, which is the bane
of so many webmasters who would rather not have to
cater to the separate dictates of one single company?

By the way, I'm using Windows 2000, which is still supposed to be
"supported" by Microsoft, yet IE7 doesn't take Windows 2000
into consideration, which seems in part to be a marketing
device to try to force users to buy more MS software
to replace inadequate previous versions that MS is deserting,
as well as having to replace hardware as well to meet its
extraordinary demands on wasting hardware resources for itself;
I suspect that all this is doing much to support a desertion
of MS by people adopting other alternatives,
who are just as glad to leave Microsoft behind.
