Windows updates IE7

I don't think that IE7 is responsible for you forgetting your passwords... :roll:

I bet you can configure your self into your web-space again ;-)

As for the TAB message, just switch them off ;-)

But I will not tell that you should use one or the other, only my advice is: If you normally use IE, then I think you should upgrade. It is my true believe that one should always use the newest version of the software one uses, that be either FF, NS, IE or whatever.

i've been using IE7 for a few weeks - my mum loves it because she can zoom in and read the writing without having to lean forward and get a bad back all the time.

best thing about IE7 is the default wikipedia search

it is substantially better than all versions of IE i've used before as i like tabs and it's much lighter in its RAM footprint.

firefox still wins however because of the plugins that aid web development, despite the fact it's been getting fatter - perhaps it will have a post mid life crisis period and burn off those extra pounds!

I've found one that suits me better

I have gone back to IE6

Everything is as it should be and all logins work

I have poor eyesight and found IE7 much harder on the eyes with is silly XP style clours and buttons

I won't be loading IE7 again

I've tried IE7 too, and returned to IE6.
Everything worked OK, but it seems to have lost the ability to unlock the favourites window.
In IE6, I have this set to auto hide, so that touching the cursor to the left edge of the screen brings the favourites window into view. I can't seem to do this with IE7.
I can't see any purpose for TABS. In IE6, I always rignt click and 'open in new window' - doing this, I can see all of my windows in the taskbar (which again, I have on auto hide).
0 out of 10, Microsoft!

I tried IE7, couldn't find a "Read your emails" button, so went back to IE6. :think:
