IE7 Released - thank God!
Finally, a somewhat standards-compliant version of IE for the masses. May adoption come quickly!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

You wouldn't. Nor will I :) It's gonna be good for web designers though, as they can hopefully save some time not having to fix perfectly good pages to work with a severely flawed but far too popular browser.

Re: IE7 Released - thank God!
IE's reaches go beyond what some people might think... the (flawed) IE engine is what is behind Outlook and Outlook Express, for example. Most desktop RSS aggregators use it, as do most internet-enabled mini-apps (like Answers.com's utility, Google Desktop's "Add Gadget", etc).

Not completely true. IE6 is and will still be used for a long time I think. We will still be forced to make tons of stuff to make the web site designs work with IE6. That said, IE7 is not that standards compliant - it still have tons of CSS flaws (if nothing has changed since Beta versions). Try it in Acid2, it's still a disaster (but, like I said in another thread, it's not the only factor). I've chekced HLP with IE7, there's a glitch in the header lol!

I find IE7's design odd - placing the "File Edit View" toolbar bar below the URL toolbar? Other stuff like that... I must say tho, its RSS feed reader is nice.

For IE6 users, IE7 is sure something great. But for FF/Opera or whatever browser users, it's far from being the browser or the century. But for standards-compliant stuff, I guess we'll have to wait and see what web devs thinks of it when doing web sites.

Yes, IE7 is better, but IE6 is a scar that will stay long if people don't switch to IE7 or Vista fast.

That's exactly what I mean. IE6 < IE7 < Firefox/Opera/Safari. And I'm a web developer myself, which is why I'm happy about IE7. I'm not gonna use it. But I'll enjoy people using it instead of IE6, that's for sure.

IE7 came with Vista RC1, Methinks. I used it for long enough to DL Firefox. I liked what I saw, but I still wont use it. But Im loving Vista Ultimate 64.

* Descenterace is very happy about the release of IE7.

I'd never use it myself, but my job involves developing .NET web apps on IE. We've had some bizarre problems with hosted controls, and MS has done bugger-all towards patching the problem on IE6. Today I'll be checking IE7 to see if it has the same flaw.

If I can have firefox installed, I can have IE7 too. I'll still use opera for my daily browsing needs. It's gonna come as a critical update soon enough anyhow.
