Has anyone got to test out IE7 yet?

[Nocturnal]

How are the tabs implemented? Are they like the MSN toolbar where when you switch tabs the entire window is redrawn?

 

[Siddy]

Hmm, i think u got lost on the way of Internet evolution.
U were meant to turn into FireFox street ages ago, not continue straight down the road of Micro$oft.

yeh Firefox pwns all browsers... fvck IE

In an ideal world, there would be one browser that did everything perfect.

In the real world - There's not. And Firefox has its faults as well. Not everyone can use it (For one - It's not approved for use in our company) so IE 7 will still be beneficial to most every day users.

Lets not turn this thread into a "IE sucks, get Firefox" "No, Firefox sucks... get Opera!" etc.

it would be acccepted if more IS VPs knew about it and how strong and secure a browser it was..
IE is a POS... Half my desktop calls everyday has something to do with IE fvckign sh!t up or beign spyware infested..

I used to be an IE fanboy now except for Citrix I use FF 100% of time and me and several other IT guys are pressing for them to review FF for rollout.

With proper group policy and limited install privileges for most users, businesses can effectively combat most spyware infestations. IE also allows admins to easily roll out security updates via SMS.

I agree that FireFox is a great browser, but it has a ways to go before it's ready for corporate primetime. A better update system and hooks into group policy would be a great start.

 

[AdamSnow]

I agree. FireFox is a great browser, secure, fast, etc... but I agree with MrChad that it is definitely not ready for the Corporate world just yet.

That sounds more like dumbass users than security flaws. Most spyware is put on because the person agrees to it. They see a popup and they click whatever they can to get it off the screen. Instead of bashing IE, you should probably just inform people not to click on that crap.

I myself, prefer FF, but I have no problems with IE and use it when I need to.

 

[CVSiN]

of course its dumbass users...

if you were in IT for a LARGE global company with 10k+ users you might get it...

FF has less ways to get infected than IE..
we have the network locked down tight and yet we are still getting spyware..
yet the IT machines with FF never get anything...
FF is a tighter design compared to IE.

we are a native server 2003 environment with over 10k XP SP2 clients.
everything is locked down..
yet IE keeps letting spyware though.

this is IEs fault it has way too many security holes and its cookie handing etc are sloppy and filled with exploitable holes.

And, unfortunately because of that, the OP won't get his question answered. This fanboi mentality really stinks.

Im in IT with 55,000 clients all across North America - and I feel that with proper education and policies - there is no need for FireFox to come in large scale at this point.

With such a large client base in this company it is nice to know we can count on Microsoft to release a patch, and we can deploy it across the company in a few SMS sweeps and have everyone on the same platform.

The reason IE is under such scrutiny is because it is used the most. When FireFox gets a larger part of the market, you can rest assured that there will be holes and exploits found with its code as well.

 

[BlueWeasel]

Haven't you guys figured out CVSin is never wrong? He's always right whether it deals with his 1337 guild in WoW, browsers, or his 2000 DVD+6000 VHS collection. :roll:

Congrats to you...Mr. Thread Crapper!

These guys have serious issues. You learn to ignore them especially CVSiN after a while. Try the Video forum, those guys will jump on you and flame you if you say "A" or "N" these days. They sense blood from miles away.

Nocturnal - I havent tested out IE 7 yet, Im still on IE 6.

 

[AdamSnow]

I didnt think I had serious issues...

Just trying to avoid the FireFox fanboys from spraying their "knowledge" to other people...

This is how I have always felt. I use Firefox as my primary browser. The only times I use IE are to do windows update.

I was agreeing with you that the fanboi'ism is out of hand and that we should get back to the topic of interest, ie. IE 7

LOL M$ patching? yeh ok... thier patches do nothing but open up other flaws...
this has been going on for years...


as for I'm always right you can suck my ass... you think for 1 second I care what you or anyone else thinks?
take it or leave it... you guys come off like asshat know it alls to me to...

so what if I have 2000 dvds? what the hell does that have to do with IE VS FF

 

[Nocturnal]

LOL, I never meant for this to get into another browser war. All I simply wanted to know was if any of you are a beta tester and if the tabs are decent comparable to FF or if they plain out suck.

Really bad screenshot
