Not sure if this was mentioned on the list earlier today, but MS
has just released the final version of IE7 for Windows XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/
Well I thought I'd finally try ie7. I shied away from the beta and rc
versions. The final release should be okay, right! NOT!! After installing it
and opening it the first time I noticed how slow it opened my home page, but
figured it was doing some initialization routines behind the scenes. I
opened a new tab and went to another page I use frequently only to find it
wouldn't work with ie7 and I received a notice to download ie5.5 or ie6 to
proceed. So I closed that and opened another site. Before the site was fully
displayed ie7 was locked up. It wouldn't close the tab and I had to force
close the whole app.
I tried again, it opened with my default home page and again was very slow
displaying the whole page. I opened a new tab and went to another site which
opened ok, again slowly. Within a few minutes ie was locked up again. Force
closed and let's try one more time. (I guess I'm a glutton for punishment)!
Again it opened my default page slowly. I opened a new tab and then tried to
close it and it wouldn't close, mistakenly clicked the new tab button and
now I had 3 tabs open. I tried closing the 2 additional tabs and they
wouldn't close and I ended up opening another. None of the tabs would close
and ie wouldn't even force close, so I had to use the old standby, reboot.
Did that and uninstalled ie7 and I'm back to ie6 once again. I won't be
travelling down that road again anytime soon. What a POS, to be a final
release. In my mind this product is still a beta!
