IE7 RTW

[stash]

Didn't see this posted yet.

IE7 has been released to the web: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx

Will this be released as a critical update through Windows Updates?

 

[stash]

It will be a high priority update, yes. Starting around Nov 1, I believe.

Do you need to uninstall the RC before putting it on?

 

[VIAN]

yes, finally!

Only thing that sucks is that it doesn't have VideoDownloader

No, the installer will do that for you.

I've read that it will be atleast a couple of months before they offer it through Windows Update........

Bah, internet options still does not open properly from the tools menu, still have to go to the control panel.

Even though I prefer Firefox, I like IE7. Hopefully this will mean a general security improvement for Windows users :thumbsup:

Thanks for the heads up, stash. :thumbsup:

I dunno why but it messed up my connection.. couldn't access anything but my DSL modem which showed everything was OK.
Did a rollback and everything is fine now.

I had RC3 installed, the new installer took that right out for me, two reboots, and it's in. Loving it.

I think I'll stay with Firefox this time round. Here's why:

In IE 7, I like the new-tab button and the simple look, yet the simple look is what kills it for me. I like the bookmarks toolbar in FF. If I enable that in IE7, then it doesn't look simple anymore, it looks bulky and cluttered. In comparison, FF maintains a clean interface. The simple look also does away with the Bookmarks menu option of the standard toolbar (the one with File, Edit...). If I want to access my Bookmarks, I have click this button that takes up a lot of the screen and makes it inconvenient to keep opening and closing when I want to access a bookmark.

I like the new-tab button, but it isn't worth the loss of convenience with the bookmarks. For now I'll keep using Ctrl-T. Extensions is another arguement against IE7. I love VideoDownloader.

It works fine for me.

My only gripe is that I can't seem to move the old menu bar to the top of the screen.

The text looks very smooth though. :thumbsup:
