Topic: Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2

Just pooping a thread through. Using IE at work because "employer doesnt support Firefox". Upgraded to IE7 Beta 2 last week. I am actually quite impressed with it to be honest. Has all shortcuts from Firefox im use to, plus an easier interface and options setup. Anyone else used it? Am i going to go back to Firefox?

IE 7 link here - https://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx

I used to use firefox, then this beta came out, and I decided I'd stick to IE.

I'm sick of websites not working with firefox... Every second form doesn't work... At least with IE, compatibility isn't an issue, and the interface is excellent, I haven't had it crash on me once yet, and its nice and quick, I'd say even quicker than firefox.

Alot of the pages that are broken with firefox seem to be still broken in IE7, still seems easier just to use mozilla and only open pages in IE if I have to.

opera8 works with 99% of the sites i goto, and is highly customizable.

i hate sites that only work with IE...like whereis.com.au atm

I love Firefox. I tried IE7 out but I couldn't go back after I've felt the lovin' that is Firefox.

Try filling out an online job application in firefox. The big companies who have online questionaires often hate firefox...

Except for Microsoft sites which are in no rush to change, Firefox loves every site I've visited.

On windows simply get ietab, then there's no reason to not use firefox.

It's about time they update thier Browser to keep up with the technologies. But I will wait until it comes of beta before I install it...
