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 http://www.opera.com http://www.mozilla.com http://www.apple.com/safari -[ ]- |

Internet Explorer 7 Released
Thus spake "Go OSU Pokes" :
wrote in message ups.com... Click Here To download : http://downloadhub.uni.cc/category/detail.php?id=5953 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. -- dillon When I was a kid, I used to think the horse's name was Bob |

Without regard to that issue, I'd like to comment as follows -- I found that my HP printer programs wouldn't work . . . Google News gave me repeated lockups. Probably other programs .. . . 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. 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. -- ra |

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. -- Svyatoslav Pidgorny, MS MVP - Security, MCSE -= F1 is the key =- |

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. Alun. ~~~~ |

However, they can and will if enough abuse and subsequent complaints are filed. For Example: R o n a l d L.

On Wed, 20 Dec 2006 13:02:13 -0600: I note that you don't mention whether the cruise lines you mention support FireFox - just that it works. 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. -[ ]- |

I also gladly leave those providers behind, at least for the time being, and enjoy the bit of enhanced ease of mind from leaving IE 6 behind. 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. -[ ]- |
