IE7 worth it?
 

Hiya all I am trying to get the gf to use Firefox, so I have hatched a evil plan, to install IE7 but would it work for IE sites only?

I fancy trying it out as I prefer Firefox, so loosing IE won't be a major thing, but I need IE for a few sites I do visit.

Is it stable enough not to wreck my computer, and run a few websites?

And would it likely put of my gf from using IE, and move her to Firefox. :D

I have had it installed since the release and it works ok, however I never use it as prefer firefox.

Only problem is windows update will not work with it there is an update needed first.

I plan on getting it onto XP Pro soon with a format so being daring now and playing about where could I get IE7 from just noticed there is no links on my normal pages.

Bit worried as microsoft looks like closing all download sites as they find them, trying to keep CF members one step ahead, not easy:erm:

Re: IE7 worth it?
 

Well since I closed the rouge ie7 program and restored cpu power, I have had no more problems with it using it to download various app's for my pc right now, as doing a clean install of alot of programs to repair some dodgy file errors been getting.

Serves me right for trying to mod some .dlls and create a new gui.

IE7 might be worth it if M$ get it right, it supposedbly will improve the standards compliance and introduce tabs, these 2 things alone are good, the anti phishing thing is a nice bonus.
