IE7 IS CRASHWARE

Absolutely, positively, as of January 13,2007, IE7 sucks, BIG TIME for the following reasons:

1-Just TRY to close IE7 while it's attempting to contact a site. It'll ignore your request.

2-Get used to warnings that IE7's about to close due to a problem, and your permission to create a "dump file" (crashware toilet) is requested. Then you'll be informed that you can file an error report once the Internet's again connected (It never disconnected!).

3-If you jave Sun Java installed, forget about deleting cookies and files. it ain't going to happen!

4-Try deleting your browsing history. Be prepared for a several-minute "deleting session," even if there's nothing tro delete!

IE7 is CRAP, and if you value your time and computer operating system, stick to IE7 (NO, don't get Firefox or Opera, which are two abortions.).

IE7 IS NOT WORTH THE GRIEF!

There's an old saying: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Believe me, I swaer on everything sacred and holy that you will REGRET installing IE7 on a Windows XP machine. My advice is to stick with IE6 until at least a year goes by without any further IE7 complaints, which means at least until Update Version #99 is released.

Microsoft©, like virtually all the other Fortune 500 sleezeball companies, believes in hiring software engineers to write the software, and then proceeds to fire them after the software's released (most of their software engineers are located in India). Then when the pressure gets to great they hire-on another software engineer (Bombay, Calcutta, New Delhi), pay him ten rupies an hour to fix the problem, and then they fire him too.

This is why Microsoft© software code resembles a plate of spaghetti with marinara sauce. They're spaghetti code because literally hundreds of software engineers have worked them. Keep in mind that coding is as individual as the engineer who wrote it. A hundred people can write an identical application a hundred different ways, and the problem begins when you have one person work on the code that someone else wrote.

I'm not singling Microsoft© out. When it comes to the sleeze factor, corporate America is at an all-time high.

One-Year-Later. IE7's Okay Now!

It's March 1st, 2008, and IE7's been working great for me...since I upgraded to Windows Vista last December. Windows Vista was a nightmare back then, and I cursed myself for having made the switch, but after several months of upgrades Windows Vista has become a superb operating system, and Internet Explorer IE7 is the perfect companion for Windows Vista.

This may be a bit off the subject, but for those diehard holdouts who refuse to switch to Vista for the sole reason that they don't want to, did you know that the search feature in Windows Vista is an honest-to-goodness search engine? By typing key words into the Vista searchbox I've located hundreds of files in my computer that I would never have retrieved by seaarching only on a filename. Windows Vista's search engine looks INSIDE of your documents, including most PDF files!
