Anyone had a look at the new internet explorer 7?

#1

I just downloaded it a few days ago because my computer was kinda screwing up on me. I couldnt open IE or any folders and explorer.exe kept crashing and then restarting all by itself. So I figured there must be some sort of virus or something, Since the laptop i have came with norton I have yet to remove it. Im just waiting for the it to expire to remove it. Nothing came up in the scan. I used zone alarm as well and still nothing. Then I decided to remove some programs from my computer and everything was running smoothly again.

Anyway the new IE looks quite smiliar to FF. The whole tab stuff and everything. Anyway I havent been able to enter the site using FF for the past few days. Well not from home anyways so I was using the IE7.

I tried opening a tab and the IE just completely closed on me. So what I'm wondering is if that is just a bug in IE or some sort of virus on my system thats affecting that.

ROFLMBAOCDR..!!

Damn tt, it seems like yesterday I was trying to convert you to FF, and now, shit, you'd think it was the other way around..! LoL, dude cold told it like it is..!

Man, I can't stress it enough...Fixing problems in Firefox > Fixing IE problems...If you can't get on in FF after you've cleared your cache and cookes, just create a new profile...And just like that, your FF will run clean as a whistle...Copy your bookmarks over to your new profile man, and you're home free...

But to answer your question, I have tried IE7, and saw no reason not to leave it where it was...

I use both FF and IE7. I like FF's versatiliuty, but I still can't get it to pull up my Hotmail from external links (like when I click on someones e-mail and it pops up in a new window). So, I use IE7 for that.

Yeah the clearing of the cache and cookies did the job. Easy to log in now. And as RR said ... i use IE for emails only. I use FF for everything else.

^ban.

I also ran IE only when I came on this site...but was turned over to FF by Ayhja.

I haven't seen IE since it was version 5.......

In fact, when I get a new computer, I'm thinking of getting the whole OpenSource stuff that Google & Sun Microsystems are doing. No Microsoft whatsoever!

(Just gotta learn how to use RedHat).

I don't know anything about the open source stuff, but I know I will give FF the thumbs up over IE. I still can't get FF to open my e-mails like I want in external windows, so IE does have it's use I guess.

I don't know why, but I still prefer IE. It's faster.
