I inadvertently installed IE7 through my update notification in the task tray
I
quickly did a System Restore to remove it.
Dont believe microsoft when they say
anything about a feature being Finale
In my opinion IE7 is still in it's beta
stage but microsoft needs more public input to stablize it.
Therefore your woes
help them to make corrections.
Dont be duped into thinking all problems were
solved with IE7.
People went through the same birth pangs with sp1 and sp2.
I
perfer to wait after the bloodbath.
I beta tested xp upon release and the nightmares
were awesome.
It was a send error recieve patch, create patch send patch deal
But
hey after 6 months I got a free version of xp and the cd is still installable.
