Are IE 7 Installations Counting Up or Down?
,----[ Quote ]
| Judging from the e-mail coming into the Microsoft Watch Tips
| in-box or comments to IE 7 posts, there are many upgraders looking
| to turn back to Internet Explorer 6. Consistent complaint:
| application incompatibilities.
|
| Asked commenter Alice today: "How can I take explorer 7 off my
| computer and get 6.0 back?"
|
| Today, commenter Claire explained: "I had trouble getting online
| after downloading Explorer 7. I had to restart my PC each time
| before I could get connected. Removing Explorer 7 solved the
| problem."
|
| Praveen asked for help, after commenting: "IE 7.0 performance is
| not good. NetBanking URLs are not working on it."
|
| Dipak took a harder position: "I have used Explore 7 for a while
| and I hate it. Is there any way I can get rid of it and go back
| to Explore 6 instead?"

IE7 Web Developers Nightmare
,----[ Quote ]
| IE7 is a night mare for most of the developers that try to comply
| with standards for crossbrowsing.
| I recently needed to rewrite a web site so it works on firefox too...
| the surprising element was that when testing the new and the old site
| on IE7 I found out that many things does not function as expected and
| "not function as expected" isn't the right word for it, it was more
| a question of working at all.

| "But browser testers may already be at risk, according to security
| researcher Tom Ferris. Late Tuesday, Ferris released details of a potential
| security flaw in IE 7. An attacker could exploit the flaw by crafting a

| control of a vulnerable system, Ferris said in an advisory on his Web site.
| Microsoft had no immediate comment on Ferris' alert."
