I have had problems with Firefox, esp with Java enabled sites....but I understand why. I have never bothered to configure it. However, I have configured IE every single time that I have installed it. But that goes to the dreaded common sense. With everything we use, there is always some configuring. TV, Phone, Radio - you configure the volume, or possibly the station, or the time, or the recording schedule - these things have always been a little difficult at first, but just like riding a bicycle, it takes a little to get used to.. Normally the people who complain, are those who don't take the time to learn about it, they expect the magic bullet. For all of MSFT's problems, it still requires one of the most userfriendly interfaces when it comes to a Major OS. Mac is probably # 1...but cost wise, I like MSFT. One of the things that slow down IE is all of these browser tool bars....yahoo, google, etc. What else do you have running? Are these using any of the same components that IE uses. Any hoo....just think about what you are complaining about before you do. And don't complain about a Beta....it just shows your inexperience. Good Surfing....IE Rocks!

On my fresh installation of Vista ita like a time bomb, it just keeps eating up more and more memory until each instance is like 200mb to 500mb in size. I guess it could go higher but by then the whole computer is useless, and I have 3gb of ram. I really think they have their heads up their aaassses, how much power do you need to render 50kb of html markup? geez. IE7 totally blows.

Find a Heavy scripted website, especially games or financial Java online charting program with lots of cache feed into the browser. IE7 crash in no time whenever you sift from one game to the other or work page to the other. Want to see how safe you IE really is? Visit underground cracker sites or hacker sites. Would infected malwares, trojans, or spywares cookies in no time. IE6 or IE 7, no matter. Same shit and didn't improve much. One good thing for IE is to keep people like me busy on other stupids keep using it. Else I wouldn't have to make a living on doing something else. How to crash an IE7?

You are all missing the very important point that for most XP users IE7 works... albiet sluggishly... the issue is not that or RAM - the issue is that IE7 was designed for Vista which was supposed to have a new core file system... which never materialised as Microsoft rushed vista out before work was completed on it in 2006.However some of the core components load with IE7 and the very latest version of MSN messenger if you use that... because it is inherently NOT XP compatable it stops other long trusted and robust software working on your machine... including - incredibly... Microsofts own media player 11 - the effect is worse than a virus making other programs unusable and the data they might hold inaccessable! It is unforgivable that microsoft unleashed such poor software on the world and made it mandatory for users to download it as a security update. However all this may be accademic as IE8 has been rolled out - which has to be the fasted upgrade microsoft has everdone... what does that tell you? I for one will not be downloading it - microsoft did more damage than they realised... they lost our trust - they will have a long uphill struggle to win that trust back.

I don't like it either but my issues with it seem minor compared to others. My main issue is no matter how much you turn off "Friendly http error messages" most of the time you get when there is a problem is "Internet explorer cannot open this page." This is annoying when you are developing and trying to decipher whether it is a 500 or a 404 or a 403 error. I also want to know the line of the file on which it is failing. this would be bad enough if it did this consistently, but it doesn't. Sometimes I will see the "500 Server error ASP.Net error line 405" which is what I always want. Also I find it had to believe that practically ever site I go to is filled with javascript errors but I keep getting the error message box "Error on line so and so. } missing" or "object not set" or others. this does not happen with Firefox. However in Firefox I am finding a lot of pages render incorrectly because the programmer was using VS to program it and chose attributes that did not correspond to any in Firefox or Netscape. Also a lot DoD sites needed for work require IE so there is no way around it. Sometimes IE will lock up trying to load a website, but not the machine itself. I suspect the problem most are having is that there is not enough RAM or virtual memory to run this version. It soed seem that everything MS comes out with is using increasing more and more memory. (Making you have to go out and buy new machines.) This comment is way too long, but I did want say something not quite as negative about this product.

Let me tell you that words cannot define how much it sucks. It even sucks when you unplug your PC out of sheer exasperation. It continues to suck throughout the entire time the PC is off; it sucks up one phoney excuse after another to set before one's eyes. I don't understand it--but I am going to let it suck itself right out of my PC and find a program that will permit me to enjoy my computer. Robert L.

I learned to live with it, though. Just recently I needed some more screen real estate and adjusted my toolbars for maximum viewing pleasure and VOILA! they stayed. The problem appears to have been resolved by one of the Windows updates (XP service pack 3?). Who knows, but my only real bitch with IE7 has been vanquished. I really haven't had the issues that you all experienced, and trust me, I have a TON of stuff installed on this machine. Visual Studio, SQL Server 2005, Altova, Lombardi Teamworks, Eclipse, and a sundry of other work and non-work heavy duty programs. Personally, I wonder if many of these problems aren't caused by the simple fact that you do have several different browsers installed that are overwriting and competing with each other's registry settings. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that there are other browsers that may work better/faster (flock being one of them). But, personally, (feel free to call me crazy, I can take it) I feel a little safer with IE7's built-in security. Oh and Tamara it's time to learn how to type/spell.

We have informed Microsoft of an issue where IE 7 makes a call to a Vista only DLL (DWMAPI.DLL) when connected through RDP to a 2K3 server and the program the user is running uses XML. This bug causes the program to quit drawing and makes a portion of the foreground window transparent. The only fix we have come up with is to remove all IE 7 updates without rebooting then IE 7 itself. The problem is on a few sites an IE 7 update doesn't uninstall so after the reboot, you get what I like to call IE 6.5. The icon is IE 7, the browser is IE 6 but other things like Internet Options are IE 7. This one update (which I haven't been able to narrow down) not uninstalling still has the bug. Microsoft informed us that they are a break-fix shop and not enough people have complained to fix it. IE 7 is PURE JUNK and Microsoft is simply looking the other way...

IE7 signals further decline of Microsoft. Worst browser I have ever had the misfortune of downgrading to. How is it possible. The most completely useless piece of (*&^ of all time. Why. A lot of @#$%^^& idiots here in these comments too, only a braindead #$$%%^ would use IE&, period. Javascript? I don't think so, not in IE7, not unless you rewrite the source code. Got all day for a page to load and then it looks terrible when it does? Welcome to IE7. Here's what happened, Micr*soft employees don't give a rat's ass. Have a conversation with any of them, go ahead, I invite you... might as well talk to Martha St#wart, a bunch of fakely (yeah, that's a word) nice don't really give a rat's ass because Bill Gates never shared a dime I'm really sorry I'm here types. And, they didn't buy Yahoo. Sell. Sell. Sell. War lost. IE7 signals further decline of Microsoft. Worst browser I have ever had the misfortune of downgrading to. How is it possible.

Some things may well be USER ERROR ( no need to shout) but the program is supposed to be used by members of the public not all of whom are IT professionals strangely enough. I don't pretend to understand all the problems and tech details, but it should just work!!!! My bug with it is that it keeps telling me I'm working offline when I'm connected to the net and tries redialling my home internet when I'm on wireless at work. When I go to tools the work offline box is ticked even though I've unticked it a minute before. This is especially the case when swapping between tabs. I'm sure there is a way to stop this happening and it is user error, but my point is, that the solution should be obvious to people who are using the system and are not called Bill Gates!!
