    Google ads everything for money. I.E.7 has many bugs. I'll not change my FireFox for it

    of course they're promoting IE7, but with Google toolbar installed ;)
    If they were just promoting it without the toolbar, it wouldn't make sense then :p

    I think you can download IE7 with the google toolbar installed with your download. Google doesn't mind promoting IE as most people will never use firefox. The only people who use firefox are webmasters and developers.

    Why would an Opera user want to browse with a slower browser?

    They're not promoting it, they just are offering their toolbar. If they offered $1 per signup to publishers then that would be promoting.

    Actually it is an old news, I am using IE7 embed with google toolbar for several months. Google and Microsoft are both commercial entities and I love what ever they provide for free. :D

    Yes it is, rather than repost, have a read - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=2718463&postcount=17

    Features wise, as far as browsing the web goes, it has all the features one needs.

    In regards to this thread, as Google has been promoting IE7 since late 2006, why is it such a big thing all of a sudden?

    Hardware; 800 MHz Intel Pentium 3, 256 MB RAM.

    Not exactly a standard computer.

    Strange. Google is obviously going to benefit from this, but in what way, I'm not to sure.

    Because of the google toolbar which purpose is to monitor the surfer. Also it is a toolbar that will set the homepage to google instead of msn/live.

    If you think about it, maybe google is using reverse psychology on this, we know IE7 sucks and google is telling everyone about it :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    What's so weird about this?

    They reccomend everything:

    "Google reccomends Firefox with Google Toolbar"
    "Google reccomends IE with Google Toolbar".
