if you actually use IE, it's arguably better than IE6.

I don't use IE and don't bother w/ IE7 dl

It brings tabbed browsing to IE. I've had it for a few weeks and my machine hasn't exploded.

I still don't understand why anyone would use IE with all the security related issues (tho IE7 > IE6 somewhat...but only somewhat). IE is fine for trusted sites you absolutely MUST navigate that absolutely DON'T work (due to bonehead web coding) in any HTML/CSS compliant browser, but for general browsing it's a bad bad bad product to use.

Could one of you IE users explain why it's worth risking open execution of any code from any unknown site simply by viewing their page (or in some cases, somply their banner ad) by using IE instead of one of the several free alternative and non-affected browsers out there? I really don't get it. Do you lock your car doors but leave the windows down? Lock your windows but leave the front door open and swaying in the wind? *shrug*....I'm stumped.

Default Re: i.e. 7

Downloaded IE7 and couldn't use my desktop icons. Could go to a site through my favorites but got a black blank page in outline using the desktop icons.
Tried it by downloading it twice. No answer,sent report to Microsoft.

Finally uninstalled IE7 and back to IE6. Any explanations out there?

Thanks,

carlo
