How Stable is IE7

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I would like to try it out. I have a box that I can use for testing (non
critical) but I just reinstalled everything and would rather not do it again
(no ghost or image software to easily redo). So is it stable enough that I
can play with it for a little while until the office version comes out?

You could try an imaging program like Image For Windows
http://terabyteunlimited.com/imagew.html The trial lasts 30 days which will
give you time to play with IE 7. If you like Image For windows it is quite
inexpensive.

IE7 is beta software. A good description for beta is unstable, unreliable, no guarantees, etc.

Runs without a hitch here on my systems.

Agreed, though I am finding that hard to apply in the case of IE7.

Just a few minor issues but stable. Still it is only on my non production test systems and since it is a Beta and as they say a Beta is a Beta for this reason I will not and nobody should install it on a production machine .

You're right. I would not install on my laptop which I use for work. It
will be on a desktop which is my "play" machine.
