Comments on: Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0 Sucks!

In my personal opinion, Internet Explorer 7 is horrible, and even the new Internet Explorer 8 Beta sucks. It’s so much slower than the previous versions. I have no problems with Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3 and it’s so much faster than Internet Explorer. I’m staying with Firefox (although I agree with Tom H. that Firefox is not perfect either due to slow-loading and all of the times I have to restart it when it comes to adding Firefox extensions, and I also agree when he asserted that some sites don’t support Firefox at all, but YouTube, Tagged, MySpace and Imeem seem to work with Firefox), and I’m definitely staying with Windows XP Service Pack 3. I’m not ready to upgrade to Windows Vista, simply because it’s a system resource hogger and consumes too much memory and disk space (I have a Pentium 4 PC with 4GB of memory and 450GB of disk space, but it doesn’t mean I’m upgrading to Windows Vista).

I block IE at the firewall after I found it to be the source or ‘conduit’ of several viruses on systems I’m paid to protect.

Just telling people not to use IE is not enough because some devious programs start it even though it’s not the default browser.

I agree microsoft programs must be on crack or something. IE7 is horrible, vista is the worst windows ever, media center 11 is awful. They did not know how to improve so they just threw shit out to sell it to nnobs that want the newest and latest.

What happened to microsoft programers now adays? Are they spaced out on crack or what? Vista, media center 11 and IE7 are all just a pile of (inside a baby diaper). And these companies that are making computers that they want to be vista only is really annoying. It took me days to get this vista only pc rolled back to xp media center edition. They took really nice programs and tried to ruin them with the new versions. That is just so stupid, stupid, stupid. Did I say that microsoft is stupid? Yes but I can not say it enough for they suck big time now adays.

I an’t stand IE7! My family seems to love the piece of crap, but it has no positives at all. I much prefer IE6, much more convienant to use, faster, just in general a much better program. Plus I hate the tab system, so so much. So yeah, down ith 7 up with 6.

Yes…I.E sucks a lot. I don’t even care if it evolve to I.E 10/11/12 or damn I.E 13. For me, it will never improve. Plus, it can’t even read most of the website. Even my own blog, I can’t imagine seeing my blog picture became half and with it’s color turn upside down that…arghh…well, I.E sucks a lot!! Oh ya, I think, they better kick their own ass out from the competition, cause they are Total Sucker.

See ya! Sorry for my bad language…

Microsoft says that the favorites in IE7 is suppose to make it easier to get to the most visited sites. I have a folder with 4 sites. The two I use the most by far are hidden (icon is gray) and the two I hardly use keeps appearing as the first visible – as if IE7 is encouraging me to do WHAT I DON’T WANT TO DO. So how does this make it easier to go to your most visited site?

IE7 is a DOG! It has caused me significant down time and lost productivity when the entire system crashes and reboots (not just the IE window!) Goodbye Microsoft, hello Firefox!

I couldn’t agree more!! This is an absolutely terrible piece of garbage browser. It crashes approximately 30% of the time I hit any website. I’ve upgraded to any / all service patches Microsoft has on windowsupdate and updated all things Java related. But 7.0 continues to crash over and over and over. Using Firefox from now on. God help us all if Vista is even remotely as bad, because corporate America is stuck with Microsoft products seemingly forever.

Yesterday I was also sucked into automatic upgrading XP to IE7. Installation was terribly slow, latest security upgrades could not be installed and no shortcut was created on desktop, and no new program in “start” panel. I managed to trace the program within the WINNT>IE7 folder. Finally the great new thing!! my bright clear empty screen!! Now what? Removed it (so I thought), tried reinstall it, removed it again (so I thought again)+removing any file with IE7 in it’s name my SEARCH could find and tried to reinstall IE6. This old reliable and wise IE6 didn’t even think about installing: It somehow sensed some stools or dung left behind or it was repelled by the stench….it actually told me so:”a newer verjuice is present- can’t install!”(or did I misspell ‘version’?)
Does anyone by now (it is almost two years at large!) know how to really and completely remove this…(don’t make me say it…) PLEASE??

It is almost 11/07 and IE7 still sucks. How can MS go so long without fixing this piece of crap?

I’ve not really experienced many of the issues others are mentioning on here with IE7. The interface takes some getting used to, but it makes sense when you think about it. 95% of the time I am clicking on bookmarks and tabs, not using the “File” menu or “Tools” menu, etc, so they pushed those all over to the right and minimized them into icons. This leaves adequate space for tabs and helps keep things less cluttered.

Firefox is a nice browser (it’s the one I use regularly due to some extensions I rely on). But it’s not perfect either. It’s ridiculously slow to load, especially when you start adding on a bunch of extensions. And it’s constantly interrupting you with extension updates and making you stop what you’re doing to reload itself. Also, there are still some sites out there that don’t work in Firefox because they rely on IE specific features, some sort of workaround to enable (on a per site basis perhaps) compatibility would be helpful.

My big gripe with IE7 is that they are charging for some of the extensions, which is silly. I don’t want to get nickled and dimed for every feature I try to add on to my browser.

Also, IE7′s security features are a bit obnoxious for those of us who know our way around the internet.
