It had better render CSS and other standards properly or it'll be a waste of time.

Be even more pointless if it just comes out for XP. At least they are STILL responding to 2000 user demands

Lot's of commentary on the 'net, here and here.
This made me laugh though:

Don't bother, just give up and go home. Microsoft is on the way out and Gates is getting desperate, even threatening Danish politicians now if they don't back his Euro policies - disgusting. Good riddance to your lame software.

...and this guy is obviously your typical M$ fanboy arse:

Excellent news. As someone who develops apps that embed the web browser and MSHTML, I can't wait to find out what additional features are going to be added.

Interesting timing too, because just last week I had a dream where I got a preview CD of IE7.

Dreaming of a browser?

Why? At least if it's crap and you've tried it, you KNOW it's crap rather than just listening to other people.

Or, are you afraid that Microsoft have listened to people's complaints and improved it, so Firefox will lose out on those who use it in protest?

dilli-theclaw · 16-02-2005, 09:21

I'll try anything once

Unfortunately it's a case of Firefox users slabbering about "M$ fanboys" without realising they're just as bad.

I'll probably install it (after all my machine is powerful enough to take it but only use it for those sites that are so sh*tly programmed that you have to use IE.

Happy with Opera thank you very much!
