I know this thread is about a week old, but hasn't the "official" IE7 download page been on Microsoft's site for quite some time?

FWIW, I used FF to download the initial files needed to get IE7...it felt wrong, but oh so right.

yeah but the deal with "It's Coming!!!" is microsoft are pushing it out as a 'high priority update' and not just leaving it for people to choose to upgrade.

It fucked up EVERYTHING on my machine. I shut down all tasks except for the bare minimum needed for XP to run to attempt a conflict-free install of IE7, too. Still bollocks. I couldn't connect to the internet, Outlook couldn't find mail servers...and, gray, DW did lose some of its site information.

I system restored back to IE 6|point|whatever and old reliable FF. Forget IE7 for now. I'm switching to mac.

WTF, MS? Is it that hard to upgrade a browser? FF updates all the time without issues.

Firefox isn't integrated into the OS and other applications you mentioned, though.

Which is one of IE's weakest points. Though apparently IE7 is less integrated than IE6.

Transmogrify · 19-10-2006, 10:41

it's still integrated and that still means you can't (without pissing about) run IE7 and IE6 at the same time.

roto · 19-10-2006, 16:03

Forget all of that...I'm sticking with 6 on the computer that had all the troubles until they get their shit sorted.
