Bino,
Let's just agree to disagree then. For me, IE7 just stinks, period.
IE6sp1 is fine in either the W2K version or the XP version. Yes, I have been
schooled, cajoled, prattled at, and scolded into certain necessary tricks to
"harden" IE. Certainly not perfect, but so far so good.
Then again, of course, I am not browser-centric either.
Can you expand on the "memory leak issues?" Many in the collective
now use FF and I do not recall hearing about this. What exactly is a
"memory leak" anyway?
Thanks,
Duncan
Meh, my order of Preference is FF3 > FF2 > IE7 > IE6.
Tabs are a must, and IE6 doesn't support them out of the box.
The memory leak isn't a leak per say, it's just that the way firefox is
written it caches stuff. a LOT of stuff. If you have firefox open and
rarely close it (I am like that at work -- restart firefox every couple of
WEEKS) and run with a bunch of tabs (6+ or more) you'll run into instances
where firefox grows to use all the available memory on the system.
It can be controlled by doing various tweaks, but mostly it's just a
matter of minimizing it and restoring it.
