I've been messing around with it. Its cool, uses half the memory RC2 was using. Added features to it. Still catching up to Firefox and all, but its definately worthwhile to upgrade to.

Purdy colors.

And fresh with MAJOR security flaws from the get go. I'm not necessarily for open-sauce stuff but since I'm still using Windows 2000 Firefox can't be beat. Wait a month so the vole can work out some of the kinks. They seem to left us 2000 users out of the *loop* as usual.

IE7


For whoever needs a quick link to the site.


I've downloaded it but not installed it yet, been busy with computer rebuilding and beginning RMA procedures for an ASUS M/B model A8N32-SLI Deluxe of which this is the second failure, its going to be a long time before ASUS gets any more business from me!

Sorry! Just Venting! :evil:

I've been Beta testing it for awhile.

Same here but the Beta is missing a few things the Official has. Its different, runs better, has better support on websites, etc, over that of the beta.

Firefox 2.0

The only thing I don't like is the fact that the download manager is still so... non-existent.

Built in spell checking works great.

Well so far the only inconveniences I've run across is Outlook Express Emails that had shorcuts embedded to go directly to a website URL through IE don't work now, along with URL shortcuts I'd set up on my desktop no longer work.

Website function so far is pretty good though!

I'm stunned, no shocked. I've slotted IE7 onto a system and it has not set itself to be the default browser. Very unMS and most welcome.

The new interface sucks. And it also looks horrible if you use Windows Classic theme.

There's no reason to switch from Firefox to IE7. FF 2.0 is much better than previous versions in terms of memory usage.

Yeah, MS even said they didn't think it would be bring a lot of people back. Though they think they're in the right direction and spending more time improving IE now.. so in a few years, we'll see a new release. heh

But now, when IE has tab management, there's even less reason for the average shmoe to switch from IE to FF.

Even with the really shitty yet "meh-it-works-and-it-comes-with-Windows" older explorer versions the adoption rate wasn't what I'd call stellar.

Just noticed that it did claim all the html and such extensions for files already stored on the system for it's own.
