Reading today that an auto Microsoft update in Nov is going to whack all Internet Explorer users onto version 7.
Hope it's improved since the beta version it fucking did my head in no end.

I couldn't get used to the tabbed browsing at the top of the screen in the beta version. If you had more that three or four windows open you had to then scroll left and right.
Hopefully improved since then, I'll give it a whirl anyway.

I've been using the Beta version, it's pretty good apart from a few minor problems.
I like the tabbed browsing actually, I prefer it to having several windows open.

Firefox is indeed the way forward.
Annoys the hell outta me that IE gets so much usage when its one of the worst browsers out there.

Firefox 2.0 is out soon apparantly Yeah I'm using RC3 at home - pretty decent stuff. I'd wait for that rather than bother with IE7. In fact ... I'd use the release candidate for Firefox. Probably more stable than the full release of IE. |

Plus with the added bonus of not making the entire contents of your PC (including bank account details etc) available to every Russian mafioso with a teenage hacker in their employ |
