anyone know about microsoft internet explorer 7?

Answer 1

Over the last year and a half I have tried every browser I could find that works on windows. I was not pleased with any of them including IE 6.

I started using IE 7 on its first Beta release and have suffered with all the bugs. This didn't seem much worse than the other browsers, so, I stuck with it through all the Beta's. I saw it improving with every Beta release.

I am now happier than a pig eating slop with IE 7 and have a Browser I am very happy with using.

If you choose to try it, I recommend downloading from Microsoft and not the Yahoo link.

I love that I can have up to 6 homepages that automatically load when I open IE 7. I also love that I can save a group of tabs in a Favorite Folder and then install that group of tabs from the Folder with one click.

With the search box that allow me to choose from a large number of search engines, I no longer need the Google Toolbar. The menu bar doesn't need to be displayed either. All those functions are available at the Tools and Page buttons. This is a nice space saving on the screen.

There are many other great features of IE 7. Give it a try.

I just downloaded and installed it this morning and it took me all of five minutes to figure out how to use it properly. I am sure a few sections will still need some configuring, but I am loving it so far. I am very pleased with the entire new interface and the new tools. I like howt the bookmarks and links work and how the tabbed browsing works. However, what i like the most by far is how easy it is to use different search engiines and also subject searches like with Wikepedia and CNET News. It was very easy to install, just remember to turn off your Internet Security Suite, otherwise it will get in the way of the install. Oh, it warns about backing up your files but I just set a restore point and went ahead and installed it.

I love this new browser!! Good luck and have a great day. Oh, if you have a problem you can easily restore IE6 by using the add/remove applet and then rebooting. Microsoft is going to be downloading to all during the next scheduled automatic update so if you do not want it you will need to turn off automatic updates and start manually updating. Manually updating is not difficult as the monthly updates come out by the tenth of each month. If you remember to do that each month and check on a weekly basis for emergency updates you should be fine.

Good luck and have a gread day. I think you will like IE7 once you get use to the new look and feel of it. You can put the menu bar back up by clicking in the right corner by the maginfying glass and clicking on the menu bar. I just leave it off for a more streamlined look and use it when I need it. All the old features are still there, except the old seach methods with the search companion or the classic search, but that is fiine with me as I never used them anyway. Remember the new favorites folders open downwards now not to the side in a slide open manner. you just click on the folder you want to open and it opens downwards. You can still easily save any website or page too. There is also a sorta booklet of instructions on how to use this, you go to the Microsoft Market Place, then to the IE7 report or download area and look for other tools or some such wording and then click to download it. Save it to My Documents (ony yours not mine, ;-) ) and you will have an easy refereance for the new browser. I downloaded the booklet before I installed the browser, but you could do it either way.

I've learned the hard way that anytime a new product is released to the general public, it goes through an error finding process. It took several months after IE6 was released before people felt comfortable using it. When Windows XP was released it had some major problems (that's why Microsoft came out with two huge service packs.) IE7 is going through a similar process right now. Perhaps in a few months, after the general public uses it, finds the errors in the programming, and Microsoft gets it fixed, IE7 will be the greatest thing since sliced bread. But right now, too many people are reporting problems and I'm not in any hurry to download it and screw up my computer. No offense to anyone using it and loving it. I've been doing just fine with IE6 for about 5 years so I can wait another 5 months for IE7. Just my opinion.

Not too much of a difference for the average Internet web user.

However if you like to play... IE 7 has some changes to peek your interests.

Have fun with it, take the tour if you can afford 5 minutes. The tabbing feature will grow on you in time - dont get hung up on it.

Clearing History, Temp Files and Cookies is a breeze now too...
