    There was just news that the automatic install in Japanese was postponed. So I guess in the coming months we are going to be getting news per language: now this language is getting automatic installation...

    For me as a designer with primarily Dutch clients this means a few more months of not having to worry whether my designs are IE7 proof - they should be, because IE7 is shipped with the explicit promise that designs should mostly look the way they do in IE6 - but still.

    I have had nothing but trouble with my users since upgrading them to IE7, so i don't recommend it just yet unless your forced too.

    Ive given up and have just uninstalled it - a simple uninstall via control panel simply returns it to IE6, rather fast and simple which is good!!!

    I'm just surprised it's not showing up on my stats pages much yet (though IE7 does beat IE5 now).

    The IE blog just made it clear that the automatic installations of IE are going to be staggered. Also: they are going to be in a way that the users see that they are downloading IE7, not hidden. This makes sense as the user-interface is apparently very different in this version, compared to the previous one.

    I really like IE7. I still get memory leak issues with FF2. I still use FF because of the extensions.

    In my last automatic update, I was forced to install IE7. It was a completely uncheckable option. This has become such a major issue for corporations that Microsoft has issued a tool to prevent this called the IE7 Blocker Toolkit

    It's not about tabbed browsing. It's about html and css standards that us developers have been wanting for ages. Granted not all of the features that firefox offers are in IE7, but it's alot better then IE6 in both css/html support and security.

    It's a manditory upgrade for all windows users and it will be stock on Vista.

    I have used IE for a couple of days. I think that it is quite goods.
    I feel IE7 and FF 2.0 are getting more closer.

    FF is still a much better browser, but IE7 is catching up.

    When ever we have the licenced version of microsoft operating system, then only we can install the IE7.
    Otherwise we cann't

    I do see a slowly rising percentage of visitors with IE7, but nowhere near Firefox or IE6 yet.
