"No, it is not a joke. It is instead a genuine recommendation from Microsoft. Simply forget about Internet Explorer 7 and download Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 instead. The previous version of the Microsoft browser is alive and clicking and with an active download link. Just what users need."

A real genuine recommendation would be to completely forget about IE by not using it and instead use Firefox, Opera, or some other third-party browser that isn't as exploitable.
Come to think of it and strangely enough IE is the most updated browser if the monthly critical security patches for it are taken into consideration.
IE7 is just sad. Took MS 5 or 6 years to develop a total peice of junk. How can MS not be totally embarrassed at releasing this thing when there are free browsers that are hundreds of times better. I mean IE7 isn't free. You must have a legit version of Windows (which you have to pay for) before you can infect your machine with IE7. Firefox and Opera are so far ahead of IE7 it's like comparing a Ferrari to a Ford Focus with 4 flat tires and a blown engine. The Ferrari is free and the trashed Focus is not. What car would you pick?
Heh, right you are Andavari.A real genuine recommendation would be to completely forget about IE by not using it and instead use Firefox, Opera, or some other third-party browser that isn't as exploitable.
That's about right. Well... besides Opera. They seem to come out with Beta versions every week at BetaNews which by the way their Beta's are VERY* Stabled. Not that Beta's really count but they give a heads up on what's being looked at or what's going to be fixed within the next Release.Come to think of it and strangely enough IE is the most updated browser if the monthly critical security patches for it are taken into consideration.
Opera is the best browser.

Ditto on that. I have been pleased ever since my transition from Firefox (not to say Firefox isn't great).
New_Age >> I see your avatar of IE7Pro...comments on it?

Firefox FTW! I tried Opera, wasn't really impressed. So many useful tools and custom settings on Firefox that I don't see a real need for Opera.

I just don't like the download thingy in firefox, nor the plug in for it(downthemall).
The download thingy? You mean the popup window it uses? If so you can get round that easily with Download Manager Tweak extension: "A modification of the Firefox download manager that changes its appearance and allows it to be opened in a separate window, a new tab, or the sidebar".
nor the plug in for it(downthemall).
I didn't like that plugin either, however I've been spoiled by the no longer supported or updated Download Mage which I bought a license for years ago, and luckily it works with WinXP when I decide to download an obnoxiously large file for even broadband.
Opera users probably already know this, but version 9.21 is released. http://www.opera.com/download/

I use FireFox mostly thank you...You should try Opera or Firefox..
I have IE7 with IE7 Pro, Opera, and Firefox. I just like Firefox for the customization, all the plugins, and themes. Since it's widely used there is alot of stuff for it.

About all it's missing now is the kitchen sink.
And something to keep it from crashing.

I had that problem with it when it was just beginning to be developed and released and everyone was stating your PC is broken which was b.s. as it was a software conflict of either something in FF or something installed that FF didn't get along with. That behaviour lasted for a very long time (over a full year) until out of nowhere someone decided to fix something in FF.

Two features that I really like in Opera that Firefox does not have an extension for is Fit to Width and Zoom. From what I have read Firefox isn't capable of these even if some one wanted to make an extension for them. The high quality zoom that Opera has is supposed to be coming in Firefox 3 but I haven't heard anything about Fit to Width. Opera is the only browser I know of that has this feature.
I'm not sure what you mean by zoom..
Just about any modern browser can zoom in on text and firefox even has an extension to zoom in on pictures as well.
