the IE 7 sucks. too many vulnerabilities to viruses especially the IEFRAME.dll file. It just got deleted by the antivirus and no one can help not even Microsoft? They do not know how to fix the problem and I am stuck

For all those who think IE7 is grt, Faster and beau and all that bullshit, i have one question for u. does it run on linux? Just think MS has the most resources to make a state of the art browser that can put any one to shame...unfortunalty they are not able to.....bottom line, they don't have the skill (talent/capability) to come up with something new than to just copy from others (opera/Firefox). M$ is nuthing but a bunch of people who are like those guys who used to copy form your paper in school. I am sure that who so ever said they liked IE7 and are switching to it will be comming back and kissing the feet of firefox once the bugs in IE7 come out. SmD IE users.

Too little too late, Microsoft has lost the browser war

You need IE, period. There are a whole lot of idiots posing as web designers who blindly create web sites compatible with IE only, and this includes sites for Banks. What do you do if you need to go to these sites.

Please send the IE 7 package in this Email address.

what happpened to my email? It no longer exists!!!!!

Linux is worth for a try!!

Nothing is better than Firefox, definitely. It is available both on Windows and GNU/Linux platforms and is much more secure than IE.

After I download my system will not install it. What's wrong

For all u people opera has also launched the beta of the latest version 9.0 which is 500% better than IE7 . it has a phishing filter , great popup blocker , voice commands , WIDGETS and a built in torrent downloader

IE7 will suck, IE8 will suck, IE9 will suck, IEn will suck. Stop it okay, IE is dead, and the browser wars are over. So now Micropee can move on to some of their other inferior products that need attention.

I am switching back to IE7 from using FireFox for over a year. IE7 is a very nice upgrade to teh old IE6. I like the fact that compared to FireFox it is very fast. I like teh way it handles RSS feeds a lot better also. I like FireFoxs option to open many feeds from a single source at once. But all in all IE7 does a better job with key sites I use often. I wish there was a nice ad blocker for IE7 but by diddling with the hosts file I am able to block many obnoxious ads found on the internet even in IE7 so it isn't so bad. The zoom feature of IE7 seems to be better than the extensions avaiable in FireFox. managing FAVORITES is way easier in IE7 that in dealing with FireFox's bookmarks.

So once IE 7 is released, how long do you think it will be before another update? 6 or 7 years? That is how long M$ let IE stagnate, meaning NO innovation! M$ mo is crush the competition at the cost of the consumer. They don't give a damn about anything except your dollars and what little they have to do to get it. I hope IE 7 fails. Firefox is a much better browser and much more secure browser than IE ever was. Besides Firefox is innovating all the time. Everyone who uses it can create a plug-in or theme for it if they want. Firefox adheres to the w3c standards. It is past time for a market shift. It is time as consumers to say enough medocrity and crap that the M$ machine spews. It is time to take control of your PC. Windows has become a liability, it is time for a change. Right now I will settle for killing IE off and separating the browser from the OS.

This is good when i read that microsoft has launched its new version.microsoft operating system are using is all over the world but microsoft can not compete with the sun,linux,unix,because microsoft has not ability to control users on server side.More information should be given by the microsoft to the students because they are the marketing manager for the microsoft.

it's only meant for WinXP service pack 2...what about the SP1 users??

People don't give up on IE. It gets better. Microsoft is not any more Bill Gates or Steve Balmer's or 60 employess of Microsoft any more. It's ours and we are all own the company, regardless of like or dislike. Let us support Microsoft's effort to bring quality products on our table.

I do agree MS has lost the browser war. I have a website and when I look at the statistics of the visiting user its almost like a 55:45 ration for IE and Firefox. Sooner or later its going to be 40:60 or even better 20:80.

It never listens to me at all.

Google is now backing Firefox. M$ is finished. Do you think that Google will fire Bill and Steve when that buy the remnants of M$ in a couple of years? I have been Winbloze free since 2003. Fedora Core 5 is the best Linux OS yet!

it would not download any file, wav., adobe, or excel

i think i'll jump off a bridge because everyone else is doing it and others are telling me to do it.

Installed it on my pavilion notebook... IE crashed every single time i opened... Just kept getting the send error report msg every 2 mins and cudnt even open 1 page!!! Opened a ticket with MS...got a reply saying thanks for the bug :)

wow........a whole six comments against MS. Must mean the whole world is against them. MS is the number ONE market share. no dispute............thats the sole reason there are problems with it, because sooo many people have it. If a FORD FOCUS was the only car on the road, then all fatalities would be attributed to the ford FOCUS and people would demand more selection. gimme a break. 99% of all vunerabilities are becuase people dont take steps to protect themselves. its teh USERS' responsibility to protect tehmselves.....PERIOD. if you set up wireless with a linksys router, dont put a key on it, and someone jacks your connection, it isnt LINKSYS's fault.

You can call it "copying" older browsers ideas, but I choose to think of it as Microsoft listening to their users- they wanted tabbed browsing, so they got it- despite what firefox has. So stop complaining that IE7 does what Firefox is doing.

So, basically, IE7 is doing what Firefox is already doing... I wonder if M$ could maybe integrate IE7 into an OS where licensing cost are reasonable. Nahhhhh, why bother...

It doesn't work on many machines. I was able to load it on my laptop, but not on any of six Dell computers at work and home.

Some please develop an alternative to microsoft OSes. The time is right now.
