wingzero2309 Posted January 31, 2006 CID Share Posted January 31, 2006 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/default.mspx I downloaded it, it seems a lot better than Beta 1 was, and windows update works on it too. I'm keeping it. But it does use a lot of resources (about 40-80K ish for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decade Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 Is it easy to uninstall this version of IE? or does Microsoft make it very difficult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 I just uninstalled this version of IE. Go to add & remove programs check the box at the top (show updates) find IE7 Beta2 and remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructable Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 lol, idk, IE 7 does sound kinda, very slightly tempting, but ya know what? I really like my Deer Park Alpha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 good find wingzero2309 IE is using 59MB right now on my system. It looks alot better then beta 1, looks better then the default theme of firefox. It seems alot faster, has anyone else notices that too? As far a security goes im still running some tests, but it looks to be as good as firefox when it comes to spyware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 Ive gone to a few more sites, serials.ws, crackfind.com, gamecopyworld.com and a few bittorrent sites and i only got 1 things some advertising thing, i get it in firefox too. IE7 is good 1000% better then IE6, it seems like they have taken the activeX stuff out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 ActiveX is still there.. There is a new security feature called ActiveX Opt-In.. which allows only the 7 of the 350 ActiveX extensions to run.. those 7 were designed for the browser.. Also there is a way to get "safe mode" on the new IE7.. Not sure if it is available in the beta but the final release should have the option to run no extension at all.

ZeroOne Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 Has anyone gotten any serious system errors after installing IE7B2? I really don't wanna screw anything up that I wont be able to fix. But, I still wanna try it, I downloaded the setup but havent installed yet.

Swimmer Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 I doubt you are going to screw up your computer.. it is released for the public. Somethings might now work as planned.. like viewing messages in hotmail.. there are reports of boxes after ever line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 Only thing that caught my eye was when it said back up all of your important files right on the beginning of the isntall.... thats shady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 installing it now how does it perform with java and activex applets ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 Only thing that caught my eye was when it said back up all of your important files right on the beginning of the isntall.... thats shady It isnt an offical release.. so i think they have to make it so that you can do that.. Same think happens when you install sp2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fikester Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 installing it now how does it perform with java and activex applets ? works fine with java Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 Active X should work as normal.. the only thing that was changed was the fact that it can only exicute the 7 plug-ins that were designed for IE.. I am not running IE 7 but that is what I have been reading. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted February 2, 2006 CID Share Posted February 2, 2006 I installed and after restarting my backround picture was corrupt.. but thats it the pic is still ok under my pics its just the backround in its form couldnt be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingzero2309 Posted February 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 2, 2006 So far, i'm really liking IE7 (as opposed to IE6) However, i HATE the placement of the back/forward and address bar...i wish there was a way for it to go under the file/edit/view/favs/tools/help toolbar. Also, when u open a new tab, its not exactly the fastest or smoothest, but it gets the job done. Some sites still dont work with it, but its all good. I was surprised that Google Toolbar Beta 4 works with IE7 all in all, i'd say ie7 is pretty good. while i still think firefox is still years ahead of ie7, i think microsoft may just be able to gain back part of that large amount of users that switched from IE to something else.

REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted February 2, 2006 CID Share Posted February 2, 2006 I'm liking IE7 a lot right now, it also looks better than Firefox in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingzero2309 Posted February 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 2, 2006 I'm liking IE7 a lot right now, it also looks better than Firefox in my opinion. yeah, im many things, it is. if it gets faster, is skinnable, and plugin-izable, and more securer, it'll be wayyy better then firefox. thats when i'll switch back to using IE and only IE (instead of firefox, IE, and opera) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
