IE7 released!

[Smilin]

....so they don't know of any problems with it but IE 6 had problems so let's knock a couple points of IE7s score?? It can only be installed on an OS that is already several years old and nothing older so they knocked it for that?? And which source code were they looking at when they determined it was the same? Did IE6 & 7 become Foss when I wasn't looking?

still?! Aargh. I was hoping at least if IE would comply with web standards, then web designers would stop making pages that don't display right in standards compliant browsers.

Cnet, Zdnet, Slashdot and inquirer have always had a nice anti MS slant.


If they want to knock ie7 based on some comparison to another browser (FF, Opera whatever) that's all good. I would never call shenanigans on that.

But giving it a lower score because of a problem that doesn't exist but they think will exist is just plain FUD. They also have no source access so to pretend otherwise is a blatant lie and sloppy journalism.
Am I off here?
