&, I actually DO like it!
* I decided to redo this rig, it's been running solid for around 9 months straight, but somehow, I had it set so it would NOT use IE7, not even update/upgrade to it...
Ticked me off, so I 'scrapped' the old setup & redoing it now as I write this (keeping me up late, but it's just data restorations now, short work).
It was getting "cluttery" anyhow: Loads of install/uninstall scrap from software's I've tried, & decided against staying with, comparing disk defraggers, browsers, zip/unzip tools alone account for a good 10% alone @ least I could NOT get rid of easily, & my regcleaner wouldn't catch etc. + I was lazy, lol!
Anyhow, because of my "System-Redo"?
Well - I've found I actually LIKE IE7 because this round, catching Windows Server 2003 SP #1 fully hotfixed allowed it to install!
(Had it that way last time, perhaps it was the order of install I did, or that I did not patch IE6 @ all, first? Ah, Who knows! What I know now is, I am using it to post here!)
That is, it's nice, that is once you get used to some of the diff.'s (subtle or otherwise) & it's simple to use, & works pretty good!
(Fully patched, that is, & also running under Windows Server 2003 SP #1 + hotfixes "IE Secure Mode", XP doesn't have it (you can, but you turn off Java/JavaScript &-or ActiveX/ActiveScript etc. & do zones work etc. et al))...
VISTA packs even more into IE7 security-wise, than Windows Server 2003 does, even fully patched - something to keep in mind!
APK
P.S.=> Still an "Opera Man", but, this IS an improvement over IE6... by far! apk
