Wow…14.8 MB, after installing, IE7 still feels bloated. And it still uses more memory than Firefox 2.0, though Opera still kicks ass in terms of startup time and memory usage :p Another thing, extensions/addons, Firefox has basically become my new dekstop. I can do just about anything from within my browser.

I just downloaded it. Even if it matched Firefox for features/security etc, it’s still lacking the extensions (sorry….add-ons) and I think that anybody who has used Firefox for any length of time and is using add-ons will find it difficult to move to IE and give them up.

14.8MB? Wow.
Last time I checked the Mac version of Firefox was weighing in at 16MB.

But IE7 is still IE. Notwithstanding all the technical and moral issues, I have never liked or used IE on a regular basis, because I don’t like the way websites look and are rendered in IE. So much so that, when I had Netscape 4.76 and IE 5.01 on my computer at the same time, I used NS even though IE was far less buggy.
IE 7 does not change anything in that regard in my mind.

It’s tempting for any Firefox fanatic to dismiss IE7, but I’d like to take a different tact. Right now, IE7 has a better overall user experience than Firefox. It’s easier to use for the average user and flat out prettier.
Yeah, it doesn’t have perfect standards support, but neither do any of Mozilla’s browsers. Yeah, yeah, Acid2-compliance is on its way — when it comes, I’ll rescind that complaint.
Firefox is still better for hard-core users and I certainly won’t switch to IE (of course I can’t — Mac OS) personally, but let’s put down our open-source swords and applaud Microsoft for this terrific new browser.

Ok, so a bunch of the way the browser was redesigned is nice, but They Still Didn’t Finish Support for HTML!!!
When are they ever going to support the Q element? &$%&#$%&@$%!!
I am pretty sure I’ve just given up on anyone seeing quote marks on my site that visits with IE.

One day after the IE7 release, came the first security hole. Congratulations to the IE team!

Glad they finally released a new version as the current was just getting too dog-eared and bug ridden to use anymore, and tabbed browsing is as essential as a scroll-wheel mouse.
pity it took firefox to make them release an update, security’s still an issue and standard’s compliance is still a long way off but well done for trying.
p.s.
the 14mb isn’t all that’s needed, when you install IE7 it still pulls a hell of a lot of updates and o/s addons from the microsoft site (core components, etc.) so still pretty big install, just they hide that bit from you.
p.p.s.
Well done Blake & co. on such a brilliant browser!

This is great news for web designers! At last, Internet Explorer displays my web site sort-of the way I intended it to look!

After being forced to use the new version of Internet Explorer at the library for the last few weeks, I can plainly see the blatant shorcomings of Microsoft’s “best yet” attempt.
Still, even with the SEVENTH version — and it’s not even a beta or pre-release — IE is an inferior product. That fact becomes painfully obvious to me, each time I am faced with the decision to either send an error to Microsoft, or to not send it. It is an EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING experience, when I open a new tab in IE, search Google in it, and clicking a text link crashes the browser!
Come on, Microsoft! This is 2007, surely computers have evolved sufficiently enough by this time, to allow users of Internet browsers to click text links without causing the entire browser to crash! And were you listening when I sent the message to you the first time it happened? What about when it happened again, or how about the next time? Makes me wonder why I waste my time sending the errors at all.
I am done with Microsoft! I am so thankful Microsoft has conveniently left gaping security holes open in IE, and I can install (and launch) Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
