IE7 is out

http://www.microsoft.com/ie/

Get it while it's hawt!

 

IE7.0 doesnt support win2000 Professional ,
Just XP and Win2003.

 

The main site is getting hammered, try the alternate download site:

http://www.ie7.com/

 

LOL, wow, thats funny. Rep added.

 

lol. i tried to open the site http://www.ie7.com/ using FF and got this message... Neither this site nor Mozilla is connected with Microsoft.

 

It's pretty slick!

 

As usual, Microsoft is trying to manipulate people to get them involved with XP and Server 2003, systems in which is the software who rules, not the end user's will.

And Google is following this same principle, but in online matters.

 

Thanks for the link. Am going to try it out.
Thanks

 

I've read that IE7 no longer loads pages that are on https:// but load images from http:// ...


It will be lots of fun for webmasters in any case. Obviously, you can't drop support for IE6, because there will be no IE7 for Windows 2000 and lots of people still use it. You must also offer support for Firefox, Mozilla, Opera.. people have are already detected bugs with images beeing cut or resized badly .. so it will be lots of fun.

 

I've been quite impressed with this new browser I must admit.

 

Is anyone else having problems with the fonts on this new browser? Mine look kind of blurry. I selected to enable some cleartype thing when the browser started and now can't find the darn setting

EDIT: Never mind, found this link

IE seven is very good. It's up to damage the to growing firefox.

I was not using IE because there was no tabs in IE.

Else IE rocks

 

yes, I currently use windows 2000 professional on my personal aswell as I like it,

looks like I will be staying with firefox for the moment.

 

anyone know how I keep both ie 6 and ie 7 on my system.

 

I have been using it earlier today its great so far

 

As DUMB and STUPID as it sounds. The new icon really makes me wanna click and use it all the time. LOL.

 

INSECURITY FIRM Secunia, has already found an insecurity in newly unleashed IE7

The vulnerability can be exploited to disclose potentially sensitive information the firm says, though it gives it just two out of five on its criticality meter.

An exasperated Thomas Kristensen, CTO of Secunnia says, "It is the half-year old information disclosure vulnerability which allows malicious sites to sneak on the content of other sites which hasn't been patched in the brand new IE7 release."

'Install multiple versions of IE on your PC '

 

I installed IE7 last night. Overall it seems okay, but I didn't like that I couldn't place the normal menu over the address bar as is traditional. Even when toolbars are unlocked they can not be moved around as much as is normal for Microsoft Windows apps. I don't get why they took away this level of customization. The "quick tabs" and the "tab list" drop down are nice additions to the tab concept, it just a shame that the tab bar loses so much space to the "command bar". Personally if I used IE as my default browser I'd like to move a couple of the commands to the address bar, turn off the command bar and leave the menu bar turned on (if it were in its traditonal location).

I did find a disturbing rendering issue that has been introduced by IE7 (see http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=162235) for full details, but basically my page http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/periodic/ does not render properly under IE7 even though it validates to W3C HTML 4.01 Strict and CSS specifications and displays correctly in IE5.5, IE6, Firefox, Opera, etc. I reported the display issue to Microsoft via their "IE7 UAS Site Problems" reporting option and did get an email back that they could replicate my problem and had passed it on to the IE7 development team. It remains to be seen if they fix the problem or not.

 

Starting in November IE7 will be pushed out as a critical update for WinXP, but from Microsoft's IE7 page (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx) you can also get a tool to prevent IE7 from installing on a machine. This will be helpful for those who need to keep a test bed running on IE6.
