Service Engineer Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Just wondering if anyone is trying out Beta1..? The RSS reader is spot on, no need for seperate application. The first stage of the beta process for Internet Explorer 7 has begun ........................................................ Dave Partridge (Romec Service Engineer)

Gave it a fair shot, but deleted it last weekend after a good 2 week try-out. ........................................................ Dave Partridge (Romec Service Engineer)
Smart Electrics Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 I must admit I tried firefox for nearly 4 months and had a lot of problems with it. Saying that though they are on the right track just needs tweaking. I have now gone back to IE begrudgingly.
j.paul Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Just wondering if anyone is trying out Beta1..? 63280[/snapback] Use Firefox here, but here is some reading on IE7 http://www.windowsitpro.com/articles/index...articleid=47208 My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators. Because of their user bases, however, Web developers are hamstrung into developing for IE at the expense of established standards that work well in all other browsers. You can turn the tide by demanding more from Microsoft and by using a better alternative Web browser. I recommend and use Mozilla Firefox, but Apple Safari (Macintosh only) and Opera 8 are both worth considering as well There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
Guest Beaker Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Since 1.0.2 Firefox has been pretty sweet. I won't use IE because it's too integrated into the OS for my tastes. I've got the Betas of Both Vista and IE running on the main laptop (3.00Ghz P4, 1Gb, 60GB 7200RPM, 9700Mobile) and it stinks. Thankfully i didn't wipe my Fedora install and nuked the XP partition instead. IE7 is only a beta, but it shouldn't be _this_ buggy. It feels more like an development group closed Alpha test to me. I use Netscape8 Beta mainly (Based on Mozilla as is firefox but a little bit more feature rich). That isn't quite as fast as Firefox, but it beats the living daylights out of IE6 or 7.
Guest Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Anything connected to Microsoft is like wireless alarm system. If you can sudgest wireless alarm for your commercial customer PLEASE install Microsoft products on to your computer. You have deserved it ALL. .
Guest Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 If your about to install any MS software you could start to use wireless gear. if so, you deserve it all.

Doesn't require any ability to learn anything beyond a mouse button, and they have a Magic marketing team. However any of my Boxen will put any M$ install out there to shame for speed, reliabilty and uptime.
Guest Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 oops.. maybe one too much since i started repeating myself..
