JohnDemolition Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 let's see. it has a crap interface(not bad if used on Vista but on XP...), cant move the menubar(even if Lock toolbars is unchecked), crap rendering, has vulnerabilities, and yeah.

Bama Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 First, let me say I am not a computer tech, far from it. BUT, please let me say something nice about the new IE7 Beta 2 Preview. I have been using IE7(beta) for about two weeks now. Before I d/l the new IE7(beta) I read a lot of negative reviews at the Microsoft Newsgroup which I am a member. Even so I wanted to try it, and so far I am satisfied with my experience with IE7(beta). If that changes I will be back and let you know.

lokoike Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Why stick with second best? Read this, download Firefox, and live happily ever after. Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krak Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Slower than Firefox in all respects... well you are right! but when you use reg tweaks IE decidedly run like thunder! I tryed this on IE 7 and 6 (Sp2) and it runs vrealy fast (IE 7 is bu default faster than IE 6!) btw i used IE 7 beta tech preview 2 but i uninstaled it (because CCleanewr deleted that hotfix from add/remove then i reinstalled windows... now i'm waiting ie 7 finall )! I has so much GUI bugs... RSS is working fine and favicon too! the new style of favourites i like but now IE 7 looks like some sys hog and IE 6 looks more compact... I do not recomend IE to unexpirienced users (i dont now any person that setted up Internet settings (control Panel=> Internet Settings)) but for those who knows to use it well i reccomend to try it to create the image of this new IE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdevil Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I would just like to know what people think of IE 7 Beta 2 Preview and any issues people have had with it. Found a few, no doubt temporary bugs: couldn't do windows update or access turbotax online. I'll use IE 6 for now and wait for the final release. I use IE only when necessary as Opera is my main browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agumon Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 i personally quite like IE7... not as much as FF or Opera... but some of the features are nice... i agree that the interface looks horrible... whether use in WinXP or Win2003... and is not really customizable... i dont know why the tabs are squeezing with the toolbar... Phishing Filter makes surfing very slow... maybe it is still in BETA thats why... i guess i wont need it anyway... i am not used to the Vista interface... sometime i look all over the place to find the refresh button... Features kindof impress me and not found in FF: - a close button on each tab... nice to have... but somehow it suck... when a tab is not in focus, it doesnt have the close button... i know FF have extension that add a close button on each tab... but i find it better a default feature... - Quick Tabs... view of all tabs... layout nicely in sorter view... i like this feature... hope FF have 1 in future... of coz i wont die without this... of coz... FF is still my choice... and ITS TRUE! i dont have Opera installed... i found it quite meaningless to have 3 browsers... hehe... --==aGumon==-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
