I appreciate good information about the strengths and weaknesses of products as much, if not more, than the next guy. But "IE7" sucks isn't that kind of information, it's simply an opinion. Please continue to tell us about the areas that IE is lacking in, that allows me to make and educated decision about whether those areas are relevant to my situation or not, just don't roll opinions into the fact list. It can be very confusing and downright misleading for the large number of lurkers out there who might be taking your opinions out of context. Tim
PS-I appreciate your keeping all things away from my mouth. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 11:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Firefox 3.0 Download Day - TMP plugin? Maybe I got the context of your silly comment mixed up. My apologizes. I certainly don't want to put anything in your mouth. I said *IE7* sucks. I have enjoyed previous versions of IE. It has become increasingly apparent that many people aren't aware of the memory issues and resulting oddities of IE7. I thought as admins we strive for up-time and deferral of data/work loss. Just because you haven't encountered an issue, doesn't mean that you wont, or that your users don't. Information is good, right? I'm offering my personal experiences with a product that I have performed tests with. I don't understand why people like you take it personally like I'm trying to tell you what to do. I'm not. I never said it sucks for you or anyone else. But ultimately, as product robustness goes, IE7 sucks - comparatively speaking (is that better for you?)
