…Sucks. It’s just bad. Everything that was good about the version I had before (5 or 6) they took out, or made it crap. There’s just more crap at the top of the browser, that doesn’t need to be there. I might get Firefox instead.

Is it really that bad? Hah, I haven’t seen it. yet, I’ve used firefox for quite some time now.

I’ve been fine with IE 7, but I got a call from my mother today as she hit Windows Update at work and after installing IE 7 every time she went to IE it crashed. Uninstalling worked like a charm.

I just don’t see the point of a new version. It’s just a waste of money (for the creators) for a Firefox knock-off.

FireFox + IE7 = IE6 owns those (they suck)

I am skeptical of your mathematical abilities! Never before have I encountered an addition which results in an owning. NEVER.

Mmm. IE7! I ate it. It was delicious. All the nutrients Firefox needs for a healthy breakfast…like tabbed browsing and extensions.

Oh. nasty. I finally got around to installing this. and it pretty much eats every one of my web designs. It’s like IE6. but with an entirely new set of issues. That’s my first impression.

So far I’ve been pretty happy with it from a webmaster perspective. it seems to behave very similar to Firefox. But I really haven’t done that much testing.

It lets me (easily) customize and add my own search engines to the search bar; that’s something I never saw FF offer me (aside from telling me “here’s how to write your own plugin.” and me going “no thank you”). But I’m still cautious…

Firefox 2 (at least) has a pulldown on the search bar. Select “Manage Search Engines…” and you can add ‘em.
I never use that thing though. I’m a quick bookmarks key shortcut kind of guy.

Well yeah. but one that bugged me was I could never find a “YouTube” search in the list that FF showed me on the ‘Search Engines Add-Ons’ page.
With IE7. all I had to do was go to YouTube. do a search for “TEST.” then paste the resulting URL into a little clearly-marked field. and now I can pull down a YouTube search anytime I want. And I want often.
I don’t know. maybe there was a way to do this with FF and I just overlooked it (I did search for it). It certainly didn’t make me forget all the many. many times I have cursed Microsoft’s name. but it was a nice how-do-you-do for IE7 (to which I just upgraded yesterday).

My friend’s computer finally upgraded to IE7 today. and her mom was confused beyond all reason. Some less-than-experienced computer users are probably wondering what on earth is up with their computers. but I don’t think Microsoft cares about user sanity. Come to think of it. do they ever do any research before forcing new products on people?
