Download IE 7: Beta 2 Preview

Everyone has a personal pref, but I use IE as the norm, both Mozilla & FF as well.

It's an unfortunate fact that IE has become the norm and most sites won't look at you if you don't use it (Oracle and most JSE run sites like banks etc.)

I've been part of an IE7 pilot and it's a pile of (well you know) to many 'impossed' features. The config for a user to get it to work the way they want is a night mare unless you are technical and know what all 'the bits' mean.

It is (well should be) a great improvement, but again you need to be more technical to benifit.

Well that's my 2 cents :)
 
i tried installing ie 7 when it came out. then that validification software. got an error when i tried downloading. bollocks. so much for that :/
 
Haha, well I personally am an IE user. I use FF every now and than like at school and stuff. But I use IE for the most part, always have, and always will. Although I tried installing IE 7 and it crashed my computer. ROFL, so I am giong to wait till the stable version comes out to even try it again, or try it on a crappy computer that doesn't matter :p
 
That's why IE is generally frowned upon among developers. It doesn't interpret CSS and HTML literally. It goes by what's most common, or just what it feels like interpreting.

FireFox displays code as it is coded. Doesn't make any assumptions or anything.

Internet Explorer is crap. I am not even going to bother trying it. :)

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: how do you know its crap when you havent even tested :p.
 
I'll download the beta. See if it's total crap. If not, I may retract some statements. I'll give it a fair, biased trail. :p
 
I am giving it a try, the validating thing gave an error for me too, but I just clicked next and it started to install.

Then it didn't install 100% but killed my old version :|. I no long have IE. Heh oh well it did something for me that I never had the guts to do even though I use FF only.

What do you use at home sEp?

I use XP but only because as a gamer I don't really have much choice considering most games only come out for Windows. But I preffer MacOSX
 
I prefer Firefox but I don't think IE is the devil or anything. Its a decent browser and does the job, just not to my preference. Then again, im sitting here wearing a Firefox t-shirt at this very moment, so maybe I should just shut my mouth.

So does my dog but you don't see him winning any browsers wars, DO YA?

Actually Opera is pretty good stuff, just not my preference.
