I just "bit the bullet" and installed MS IE 7 in two machines running
Win XP Pro. The update took a very long time but was essentially
successful. On the antique IBM Thinkpad, everything looks fine, but on
my generic tower, all the wording on the Google taskbar comes up in what
looks like a foreign language. I haven't been able to use Google to find
out what the problem is. Since I rarely use MS IE for a browser, this
isn't a "show stopper", but I was wondering if anyone else had ever
encountered that kind of problem and/or found a solution for it.
IE still takes "forever" to load, but it does seem to work OK.

Brain-dead users like me cling to Windows 2000 (because it works, and
because it supports the applications I use), which doesn't support
IE7. So why didn't Microsoft port IE7 to Windows 2000? Then it
would be easy (for me to try it).
Most of Microsoft's customers are brain-dead by your (Tom Piowar's)
standards. MS needs to cater to brain-dead customers. Sure, if I
want to figure out the intricacies of VMWare, I can run Win2K in a
virtual machine on WinXP/sp2 or Vista, and have both available, but
that requires twice the hardware (twice the memory, at least).
